2. It is convenient for us to work quickly
So what about the view settings for axure 9? We can take a look through the menu of settings. Settings include toolbars, style bars, pages, parts, masters, interactions, descriptions, styles, summary display controls, reset views, label/grid guide settings, and mask settings

toolbar
Toolbar settings, you can choose whether to display the toolbar, and customize tools. Whether the display is relatively simple, you can clearly see the display and hiding of the toolbar, which can be selected according to your own needs and usage habits.
See how it works when customizing the tool. In the settings panel, you can adjust your favorite tools to the toolbar, which can reduce the time of operation and speed up work efficiency. The following tools can be set up:

Ribbon settings
1. Close the one-sided functional area
Sometimes when we set up the prototype, the width is relatively large, and we may need to hide the ribbon on one side to increase the view size of the edit area. Take the example of turning off the right-hand function, there are several ways:
a. After dragging the ribbon to separate the panels, click the Close button. The same approach can be used for the shutdown of other ribbons.
b. Select the view-ribbon-switch function bar on the right side, you can directly close all the function bars on one side.
c. Select the View-Ribbon and uncheck all the function windows that belong to this side to close. As shown in the figure, after unchecking the three windows of Interaction, Description, and Style, you can close all the function bars on the right side.
d. Use the shortcut key: CTRL+ALT+], directly close the right function bar. The shortcut on the left is CTRL+ALT+[.
2. Move and close individual function windows. Suppose you want to move and close the profile window
Moving a window is as simple as selecting the name of the window and dragging and dropping it to move the window independently or. During the process of moving, a blue-green line will appear to indicate where the window is moving.
The several ways we said earlier are to close all the functional windows on one side. If you want to close a single function window, what can you do?
a. Somewhat similar to one-sided ribbon shutdown. After dragging the profile window to separate the panels, click the Close button. Note here that the drag is a single window, and the entire ribbon cannot be dragged as if it were closed on one side.
b. Select View-Ribbon-Summary, uncheck this function window, and close it.
3. Restore the functional area. Also take the summary window as an example
a. Select View-Ribbon-Summary and select this feature window to redisplay the outline window in the view.
b. Select View - Reset View to restore the view to its original state, reverting to its original settings regardless of whether the window is moved or closed.

Ruler, grid, guide settings
By setting preferences for the editorial area, it is also convenient for our daily work and closer to our personal usage habits. Click on any of the settings to enter preferences, such as grid settings, guide settings, and more. (Preferences are also mentioned in basic tutorial 4, and can also be set by opening the settings panel from "Files")
The content about canvas, grid, guides, and assembly alignment is part of the view settings. The settings are as follows:
Canvas: Whether to enable single room shortcuts; hide the canvas scroll bar.
Single-key shortcuts include: R – Rectangle mode; O– Ellipse/Circle mode; T – Text mode (which automatically fills the text area with sample text as you drag) ;P – Pen Painting mode; L – Line Segment mode.
Enabling single-key shortcuts can quickly recall several of the above modes, which is more convenient for us. Select the shortcut key T, and a small icon of text appears at the bottom of the mouse, allowing you to quickly enter text. The same goes for others.
Grid: spacing, style, grid line color settings;
Guides: whether the bottom layer displays guides, whether the position of guides is always displayed in the ruler, and the color settings of various guides;
Drag and drop directly from the ruler to create a page guide, the default color is blue-green, CTRL+drag to create a global guide, the default color is pink.
Assembly Alignment: Settings for edge alignment; color settings for alignment guides. Guides between parts and parts indicate how the alignment is.

Other settings
1. Settings of the mask
The role of the mask is to display the representative colors of different kinds of parts, and when opened, the parts used are clear at a glance. In the case of a dynamic panel, the mask is turned on to show light blue, and closed is transparent. Habitually seeing a light blue part, it will react that the part is a dynamic panel.
2. Marking of descriptions and interactions. Displayed by default, it can be turned off. Interactions are indicated by icons for small lightning bolts, and descriptions are illustrated by numbers. It is easier to distinguish in later work and study.
3. Position size prompt. Works with part alignment.
4. Display background. The background color and background image can be displayed or not.
