graphical objects in a window get resized, if necessary.

•
Ability to clone windows and tabs, and manage multiple open windows from one dialog. For

Cloning tabs and managing multiple open windows
MXDM enables you to clone the information available in some tabs, in a new window. A copy of
the selected tab and its information is created in a new window. MXDM also supports launching
multiple cloned windows simultaneously. As a result, you can launch multiple windows, resize the
windows, and compare the data in those windows. Cloning data and launching multiple windows
are useful when you want to monitor multiple systems or multiple aspects of the same system
simultaneously.
To clone a tab, double-click the tab name, or right-click a tab name and select Clone in Window.
To manage multiple windows, MXDM includes the Windows Manager that lists all the open windows,
and provides functions to display and close these windows.
To open the Windows Manager, click Windows Manager (
) on the MXDM toolbar, or select
