Pan and Zoom a Diagram
When you are viewing a diagram, you can pan across, up and down the whole diagram in a low magnification to locate a particular section, and then zoom into that section in a higher magnification.
Pan over diagram
You can pan over the Diagram View using the:
· | !, ", #, $, Page Up, Page Down, Home and End keys when the Diagram View is selected |
· | Diagram scrollbars |
· | Middle mouse button |
· | Pan & Zoom window (Ctrl+Shift+N) |
Zoom into and out of diagram
You can zoom into and out from the diagram using the:
· | Diagram | Zoom menu options or |
· | Zoom buttons on the Diagram toolbar or Pan & Zoom window toolbar![]() |
Change the zoom level by clicking on either the Zoom In (+) or Zoom Out (-) buttons; each click changes the magnification by 10%. Alternatively, select the Zoom In or Zoom Out options from the Diagram | Zoom menu.
You can return the diagram to 100% in one of three ways:
· | Click on the ![]() |
· | Select the Diagram | Zoom | Zoom to 100% menu option |
· | Press Ctrl and click on the middle button of the mouse |
Notes
· | You can zoom in and out of the main window dynamically by holding Ctrl and rolling the mouse wheel |
· | Changes in diagram magnification through the zoom options can be saved as permanent changes to the diagram |
· | At high levels of zoom, element features cease to display; this is because the Windows font mapper cannot easily select a font for extreme conditions, and the result can look odd |
