If you are running another OpenSpirit enabled application (or another instance of ArcGIS with the OpenSpirit Extension) there may be times when you want the current viewing extent in ArcGIS to be sent to the other application so it zooms to the same area of the world. This can be done by simply clicking on this button:
ArcGIS is enabled for listening to map view events as long as the lightening bolt is enabled on the OpenSprit toolbar and the "Map View Event" option is chosen in the options dialog:
If the sending and receiving applications have a different map aspect ratio or are using different display coordinate systems then the areal extent displayed in each application after exchanging a view definition event will only be approximately the same. In this situation it is impossible to have both applications display the exact same area.
