11.2.3. Deleting ANSYS Windows


To delete a window, either enter DELE in the XMIN field on the /WINDOW command (Utility Menu>
PlotCtrls> Window Controls> Delete Window).


11.2.4. Copying Display Specifications Between Windows


Use the NCOPY field on the /WINDOW command (Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Window Controls> Copy
Window Specs) to copy a set of display specifications (/VIEW,/DIST, etc.) from one window to another
window.


11.2.5. Superimposing (Overlaying) Multiple Displays


If you want to display dissimilar items in separat e ANSYS windows, you must issue a sequence of different
action commands as you activate and deactivate appropriate windows, while protecting the displays
in your deactivated windows from being erased. The key to this operation is the /NOERASE command
(Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Erase Options> Erase Between Plots), which prevents the normal screen
erase from occurring as new displays are created. Once your multiple display has been created, you
can return to normal erasing mode by issuing the /ERASE command.


11.2.6. Removing Frame Borders


The FRAME label on the /PLOPTS command enables you to turn all your ANSYS window border lines
on and off.


11.3. Changing the Viewing Angle, Zooming, and Panning
