PlanSwift provides shortcuts for Zooming, Panning, and Navigating Pages

Zooming

Four zoom commands are available from the Zoom/Pan group on the Home tab ribbon-bar. PlanSwift provides several ways of invoking these commands:

  • Click on Zoom (1), then select an area of the page by clicking and dragging the cursor over an area of the page zooms in to display the selected region.
    • An alternate way of zooming into a selected area is to press the F10 function key and drag over the area with the mouse.
  • Click on Fit Page (2) displays the entire plan page in the viewing window and pans the image so that the image is centered in the viewing window.
    • An alternate way of fitting the page to the window is to press the F7 Function key.
  • Click on Zoom In (3) zooms in about 30% each time it is clicked on.
    • A second way of zooming in is to use the mouse wheel.
    • A third way is to press the number pad's + (plus) key. The number pad zoom functions are smoother and only zoom in or out about 10%.
