  • Autocad 2 screens

    If I get a Matrox Dualhead graphics card under W2k will it stretch an Autocad 2002 viewport across both screens? and do they have to be at the same resolution?
    Thanks
    Pete

    You would have the option to run a "stretched" display, where both screen run the same res/refresh. In this mode, you could spread your drawing editor across both displays.

    The other option is to run independant resolutions. You can still stretch your drawing editor in a window across both displays, but can't maximise it this way.

    Personally, I prefer to have my drawing editor open on my main screen, and my text window on the secondary...saves all those F2 toggles back and forth from text to graphics...I also place my properties list and some toolbars on the secondary. This opens up more room on the drawing editor for the drawing...

      Thanks. Just wish matrox did a PC Card g450 but I expect it would be a bit tough to fit it in there. As I my colleague only has a laptop. And his ATi mobility just does the same as on the screen.
      Oh well $$$.
