Possible to Tile Schematic Pages in Orcad X Professional

msenick

For years, using OrCAD work-supplied software I was to be able to tile pages within a schematic in the workspace, even from different designs, so that could do a side by side comparison. For instance, I might have page A which has control switches and a connector, and page B which has the mating connector and the devices which are connected to the connector, so that signals may be easily traced.

However, in my self-owned copy of OrCAD X (and back to 17.2) the three small buttons in upper RH corner of the page (minimize, maximize, close:  ) which would allow you to tile the pages no longer exist, only have a tab for each page which allows only a single page to be viewed at one time, cannot open two or more simultaneously.

Is there some way to enable this capability in X? It would make it much easier to look at two different schematic pages to trace signal flows between them.
