There are a variety of viewing options available which give you maximum flexibility when creating your designs.
The view mode is made up of two distinct components:
Drawn objects are displayed as vectors by default. This means that, regardless of the current zoom level, objects (and applied effects) are always presented with smooth, vector edges and transitions.
During design, vector objects are presented as if they are constructed from individual pixels. This is an accurate representation of how your design will appear once exported and viewed as an image.
As for Pixel mode above, but represents viewing on retina and high DPI displays.
During design, page objects are presented as paths only (with no fills or strokes).
Presents the selected mode in isolation on a single page.
Presents two modes simultaneously on the same page. A sliding divider can be repositioned to view different areas of the design in either mode.
This option, set by default, restricts the document view, so you can only see objects which are placed on the page. If objects extend beyond the page, the area which lies on the page is visibile while the area which lies on the pasteboard is hidden. Objects which are entirely on the pasteboard are hidden.
When Clip to Canvas is switched off, the pasteboard is visible (it is a subtly lighter shade), as are all the objects placed on it.
Clip to Canvas can be used in conjunction with any of the above view options.
Do one of the following:
Click one side of the divider.
The divider label displays as black for the selected side (otherwise displayed as grey).
You can jump to full screen view easily via a window button, menu option or a keyboard shortcut.

There are times when it is useful to view a design at different zoom levels simultaneously. This can be achieved by opening your current project in a New View. The views can then be set to different zoom levels. Changes made to any view are replicated in the other.
