A new family of commands is available for the convenient organisation of windows within the ADC window. These resize and reposition the current window to fill the respective zone of the ADC window, typically toggling between half, one-third and two-thirds occupancy. The following commands are offered:


Window top-left	(Ctrl+Num 7)	Window top	(Ctrl+Num 8)	Window top-right	(Ctrl+Num 9)
Window left	(Ctrl+Num 4)	Window middle (full)	(Ctrl+Num 5)	Window right	(Ctrl+Num 6)
Window bottom-left	(Ctrl+Num 1)	Window bottom	(Ctrl+Num 2)	Window bottom-right	(Ctrl+Num 3)

Span and cross-section views are coordinated such that if you zoom on the particular span, then the cross-sections are those for that span.

The values of bending moments and shear forces in graphic view have been improved such that:

If the number is positive then it goes above the line and below if negative.

End of span values are left or right justified as appropriate so that they will separate.
