You can zoom into and out from a diagram using the zoom buttons on the diagram toolbar, or by using the Diagram | Zoom submenu.

ZoomDiagram

Change the zoom level by 10% by clicking on either the Zoom In (+) or Zoom Out (-) buttons. Alternatively, select the Zoom In or Zoom Out options from the Diagram | Zoom submenu.

There are three ways to return the diagram to 100%:

  • Click on the ZoomIcon button
  • Select Zoom to 100% from the Diagram | Zoom submenu
  • ( Ctrl ) +middle-click 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 of the difficulty the Windows font mapper has in choosing a font for extreme conditions, and the result can look odd
