View Size

Use it!

The View Size tool is used to resize a selected view, or to match the size of one view to another. The size is measured in pixels on the display screen.

In using this tool, you first select a source view to set the size. This can be left as is, to resize another view to match the source view, or the size changed before selecting a view to resize.
