Manage 2D View

Zoom Area

The command can be called in one of the following ways:

The command can also be called from the View Toolbar in 2D or 3D window.

This command can be used for panning and scaling the visible area.

An arbitrary area of the drawing can be zoomed on by specifying two opposite corners of a box. Move the cursor to one corner of the area to be zoomed on, and press and hold . A rectangle starts rubberbanding after the cursor. Drag it, selecting the desired area by box, and then release the button .

Following options become available in the automenu upon calling the command:

The Window mode dialog pops-up upon selecting the option. There you can customize panning and scaling increments defined as percentage of the window's size. These parameters are applicable not only to the Zoom Area command but also to main camera keyboard shortcuts usage.

The Window coordinates dialog pops-up upon selecting the option. There you can set position of the working window in coordinates of the active drawing sheet. This option works in 2D window only.

The Window dialog pops-up upon selecting the option. There you can type in the Window Number, using one of the numbers from 0 to 9. Current position of the working window is saved under the specified number upon clicking OK. You can call the previously saved position by pressing the corresponding numerical key on the keyboard. It works only when Zoom Area command is active. Saved positions are common for all documents in the current session. They are not written in document files and are cleared upon quitting the T-FLEX CAD.
