sync loupe tool to update with page change
put a checkbox in the loupe tool to toggle the following of page changes.
while reviewing engineering drawings, all of the same format of media - usually ANSI B. Engineers, architects, cad people need to check for title block errors, flipping through every sheet, looking in the same relative area (in my case, the bottom right corner). I want to work in a full page window and then open the loupe to examine the desired area on each sheet. when i'm done reviewing a sheet, I down arrow to get the next full page. I want the loupe blowup content to follow to the next page content (when the toggle is checked), i.e., update to reveal the same area on the next page. right now when changing pages, the loupe view remains static.
I also want to retain the behavior of how it works now (while check box is toggled off) so it does NOT update with page change, for comparison sake, sheet to sheet.
I tried the spreadsheet split tool and it seemed uncontrollable for what i want. this is for paper-saving review process we do over and over again during the design process.
see attached, one png image to see what i want, one pdf to try doing it yourself.
thanks for consideration!

If the loupe tool isn’t updating when you change pages, it usually means the preview layer isn’t refreshing with the new render context. I’ve seen similar behavior when the background process is still tied to the previous frame buffer. In cases like this, it’s worth checking whether your system is actually hitting a CPU or GPU bottleneck during page transitions. When hardware is maxed out, UI tools can lag behind updates. I ran into this while troubleshooting and used a quick calculator at https://bottleneckcheck.com/ to see if my CPU–GPU combo was limiting performance. It helped me figure out the weak link instead of guessing. Might be something to look into if the issue feels performance-related.
