To open the Drawing Explorer Window, we can go up to the View menu, and click Drawing Explorer Window. Let me just drag that up into the main area of the screen here. Now what this shows us, if I expand it out, perhaps we will get rid of the pan and zoom window here - it shows us all the details of what is included on a particular drawing. So rather than having to go through and try and locate it on the drawing, we can use this as a shortcut to zoom in on exactly what we are looking for. So at the top here, we have got the name of the drawing, the basic network diagram. .vsd, that's the file extension for that, for that particular drawing file. And we have underneath that all the components that make up the drawing. So if we want to for example, look at the properties for a particular shape, a particular computer making up the network diagram, we can zoom in on the foreground pages. We've got page 1, we have the shapes, and there we have the items. We are interested say in the personal computer. And within there we can go into the detail that is available there for that particular computer. We could now for example right click and select custom properties, and here access and change the particular properties for that computer, without having to physically locate the shape on the diagram and going from there. So it gives another way to organizing and taking an overview of everything that makes up a particular diagram. The drawing explorer window and the pan and zoom window I want to call anchored windows, and that means they can actually share the same space, which saves space on your work area. To show you what I mean - at the moment, pan and zoom is anchored within the top right hand corner of the drawing pane here. We can just move that down, and then freeze it up, so now you can see that both the pan and zoom and the drawing explorer are the same kind of window. Now what we can do then, we can move the drawing explorer within pan and zoom, and the two merge together with little tabs at the bottom. And we can then look at one or the other by simply clicking the tab at the bottom of the page. Or we can move the whole thing around, or click on one of the tabs and drag it out as a separate window again. And whether they are together or not, we can drag it up here and dock it within the corner of the window there. You see the pushpin there to auto hide it. Alternatively we can make it into a completely separate pane, separate from the drawing pane, by dragging in a little bit further. And now you see it's docked in with a movable bar there that we can resize it, to change its position. And again we can click here to change between the pages on that merged anchored window. Now these anchored windows are different to the stencil windows - let's just open a few stencils, just to show you what I mean. Now, one way to do that is to click on this button here, Open Stencil. And it comes up with an open stencil dialog box, we can select from the list there. Another option is we could click the little drop down arrow next to the button there, and then we can browse directly for the one that we are interested in. So we were working on a network diagram, so if we select basic network shapes, it opens a particular stencil. Let's open another one for good measure. And you can see now these particular ones are embedded within the shapes pane here. As we saw before, we can drag one of these out as a separate window, so it looks very similar to what we have over here at pan and zoom - the difference being we've got a little green icon here in the corner, which when clicked, gives us a shortcut menu of various options. And you will find that they are actually different - because this one, if we try to merge it with that one, you will see there's no go: the two of them stay separate. So we can merge anchored windows together, we can merge the stencil windows together, but the two of them are separate entities - they can't be merged together. So if we want to make more room, we will have to merge that back into there. And this one we can always dock over here and use the pushpin to clear our workspace.
