    Not sure what you mean by "instance view" here. As a wild guess, are you asking about trying to switch between showing no hierarchy, like this:

    and full hierarchy like this:

    If so, the usual bindkeys are Shift-F to go to full depth, and Ctrl-F to go back to zero depth (the top picture). Because there's no menu for this it's a little hard to spot the bindings, but if you go to the Command Interpreter Window and pick Options->Bindkeys, pick "Layout" as the Application and then search for "stop" in the search box at the top right, you'll see the keys. There's also the + and - keys to increment and decrement the stop level.

    Of course, you may be talking about something completely different! If so, please clarify.

    Regards,

    Andrew
