2. Move the highlight cursor slowly down the list of options in the left column. As you
highlight the options, additional options appear in a column to the right.
3. Highlight the Export option to see the different formats available for export (see
Figure 1.5).
The Application menu also gives you a convenient way to find recently used files or to get to
a file you already have open. If you move your cursor away from the list of options to the left in
the Application menu, you’ll see Recent Documents in the upper right of the menu. You’ll also
see two icon tools named Open Documents and Recent Documents (see Figure 1.6).
The Open Documents option lets you quickly change from one open file to another when you
are viewing your files full-screen. The Recent Documents option displays a list of documents
you’ve recently worked on.
You can use the View tool in the upper-right portion of the Application menu to select the way
the list of files is displayed in a manner similar to the way you would use the Windows Explorer
View option. You can click this icon and select Medium Images to have the list display the files
with thumbnail images of their content. Hover over a filename, and you will see a tool tip that
displays a larger thumbnail of the drawing.
