Keeping Preview visible when working with multiple pages?

I might be doing something wrong or maybe this feature is not possible, but is there a way to keep the preview visible when working with multiple pages, like how it is on CDS?

Normally in CDS, if I have several pages, I see my preview from page 1, when working on page 2. The preview seems to disappear when I am when I am using SCAL 2.001 (just got the latest update).

So if somebody has found a way to do this, I would like to know how. It would make working with multiple pages so much easier if this were possible.

I don't think the preview will stay on once you start working again. But you can definately preiview all the pages at once...

I can see both pages when I hit Preview...I want to be able to keep the preview visible when working on the second page-I still want to see what is on the first page.

This is currently possible in CDS so it makes it easier to see what is on your first page while working on the second page.

As soon as I click on my page, the preview disappears. If CraftEdge is working on updates, I would love to see this in an update. I love that we have multiple pages now on SCAL 2 but if there is any way to keep the previews visible when working on the pages, that would make it even better!!!!

If you work on layers, you will be able to see everything. When you are done working on it and don't need to see them all, you can send a layer to a new page. HTH

Yup, I see that now. I was trying to do it all on multiple pages instead of layers. Works better with the layers.

Thanks so much.

Is there a tutorial for using layers? I'm not sure how that works. Thanks

I have one for using layered svg files in SCAL 2.0 and one for creating layered svg files in Inkscape. Both are on my blog. http://imagesbyheatherm.wordpress.com/

I'm confused. If I make an SVG file with layers and open it in SCAL 2, will the images go into separate layers?
