Index sheet window
Here you will have a view of the total drawing space including the title blocks, which are fixed in the bottom right corner. A skeleton depiction of the drainage system will be shown, together with a rectangular 'mask' that can be moved around the space.
Clicking your left mouse button while holding the mask in a particular position will open the Main Window at that location. This provides a quick way to navigate around a complex drainage system.
