Using AS 2010 on AutoCAD 2010 is there a split screen option?

Its noted as Advance steel Ribbon in the whats new brochure page, how do you enable it??

Hello,

Advance Steel ribbons can be activated together with the AutoCAD ones. This option is available starting with AutoCAD 2009, and the ribbons automatically appear when you switch the workspace to : 2D Drafting & Add notation or 3D Modelling (see the attached picture for the location of the workspace switch option).
Advance Steel 2010 has also Tool Pallets which together with the ribbons provide full access to all AS commands. To enable the tool pallets, you need to go to the Autocad "View" menu, and choose : Tool Pallets. This will activate all the tool pallets (including the AutoCAD ones). In order to isolate only the Advance Steel ones, you need to right click on the tool pallets window and choose : Advance Steel.

Thanks for reply but I was wanting to know if there was a split screen view option in one model? the AS ribbon page in the what’s new brochure shows 3 views on same model

Hello,

The split screen display presented in the brochure picture is an AutoCAD feature called : Viewports. It can be accessed from the "View" menu. You can have your workspace split in up to 4 viewports.
