Please make it possible to drag the 2nd drawing over to a 2nd LCD. It is time-consuming to have to Alt+Tab between view when it would be faster to drag the 2nd drawing to a second LCD and simply copy and paste geometry.

It also would usefully serve to speed up referencing a drawing.

Also, it would be nice to be able to drag a viewport off to the 2nd display so that all that screen real estate can be exploited. Currently, in VCP 7, my VCP activity is confined to a single LCD unless I open a 2nd copy of VCP, which is RAM intensive, though it serves as crash-protection for my primary instance.

Another egg-in-own-face moment.

Last night, I added a 2nd, and a 3rd viewport. Dragged them off screen, and they ran pretty well. However, I found that while they work nicely as "auxiliary monitors" of sorts, i was not able to actually draw lines or geometry on them. It might be my system, or maybe that is how it is and I jsut need to be told that.

Nicely, though, they in real-time show geometry as I'm creating it on my main edit screen. NICE!
