Summary
This is a custom tool that enhances the Viewer Window functionality in ArcMap (requires 9.3 or greater), enabling the creation of up to four tiled viewer windows with synchronized extents. When the user pans or zooms in one of the viewers, the new extent is forwarded to the other viewers. A command button opens a dockable window for creating, closing , and otherwise managing the viewers. This is fairly simple to use. Follow the text prompts on the dockable window to get started. This command is especially well suited for side-by-side viewing of multiple basemap layers. Update 1: This update adds an installer to the package. It also includes a fix for when dataframe names do not fit in the default drop down list width. See the readme for more details.
