# Changing your Eclipse Perspective [edit]

This page describes how to change your Perspective in Eclipse.

## Introduction

If you are using Aptana as an Eclipse plug-in, rather than a stand-alone application, you will need to change your Perspective to the Aptana Perspective to take full advantage of all of Aptana's features. You will also need to change your perspective to use the Aptana Rails plug-in or to debug your code.

## Instructions

To change your Eclipse Perspective:

1. Above the Outline View tab, click the Perspective button , and select Other... to open a Select Perspective pop-up window.
2. On the Select Perspective pop-up window, select the perspective that you want to use.
