PcbDrawing_Cmd-ZoomZoom_AD

Applied Parameters: Action=Out

Summary

This feature is used to zoom out from the cursor position relative to the cursor position on the active Draftsman document (*.PCBDwf). 

Access

The command is accessed from the Draftsman editor in the following ways:

• Click View » Zoom Out from the main menus.
• Use the PgDn shortcut key.
• Press the V key in the workspace to access the View pop-up menu then choose the Zoom Out command.
• Press the Z key in the workspace to access the Zoom pop-up menu then choose the Zoom Out command.

After launching the command, the workspace will zoom out from a particular section of the design. Use the command repeatedly to zoom out to a greater extent.

Tips

1. Since this command is relative to the cursor position, it is a good idea to position the cursor in the desired location prior to launching the command. To use the command effectively, use the shortcut or use the accelerator keyboard sequence: V, O or Z, O.
2. This command can be used through its respective keyboard shortcut even while another process is running (for example, while in placement mode).
3. Hold the Ctrl key and roll the mouse wheel downward. Use of the Ctrl key is a default setting that can be changed on the  System - Mouse Wheel Configuration page of the Preferences dialog.
