The view window stores the file in memory allowing you to quickly browse through the solution on screen using the mouse. You can have multiple view windows open at the same time. The view window can handle very large solution files, up to several megabytes, depending on how much memory you have available on your machine. If the solution file becomes too large, you can change the contents of the file. Please refer to the Change Solution File Options section in Chapter 4.9: The Options Menu for more information.
