Freeze column/row in model

You can freeze a column and a row in a model. Frozen columns are not moved during horizontal scrolling, and frozen rows are not moved during vertical scrolling. This enables you to place content of model areas that are not very close to one another next to each other in the visible area of the model window.

Procedure (quick video)

  1. Activate the View tab bar.
  2. Click Columns and rows Columns and rows > Freeze column/row.
  3. Move the mouse pointer to the model window. Crosshairs are displayed indicating the areas that will be frozen.
    The vertical line indicates the area to the left that will be frozen as a column, while the horizontal line indicates the area at the top that will be frozen as a row.
  4. Move the mouse pointer to the position so that column and row have the width with which you want to freeze them.
  5. Click this position.

The column and row are frozen. When you scroll so that model areas that are not adjacent are displayed, a separator bar is shown that indicates that the model areas displayed are not adjacent.

You can move objects from one to another area, or create connections between the objects of the various areas displayed.
