Zoom to the Previous and Next Positions in a Model

You can zoom to the previous and next positions and toggle between the two when viewing or navigating a model. For example, you can zoom to one object then zoom to another object and then use the Next Position and Previous Position buttons on the Standard toolbar to toggle between the two.

1. Use one of the following methods to zoom to the first position:
   • To zoom all, click Zoom All .
     
     
   • To zoom to an object or container, right-click the object or container, point to Zoom, and then click Zoom To, or click the object or container.
     
     
   • To zoom to an object or container to display its text with its default size, right-click the object or container, point to Zoom, and then click Zoom To Text Size.
     
     
   • To zoom to an area, click Zoom Rectangle . Position the cursor on the perimeter of the area you want to zoom to and then release the mouse button. The selected area is zoomed to.

2. To zoom to the next position, repeat step 1.
   
   
3. To zoom to the previous position, click Previous Position .
   
   
4. To zoom to the next position, click Next Position .

Tip: You can use the METIS Model Browser wizard to define what is shown or hidden when the model is first opened in the browser. For example, you can specify whether to display the menu bar, the status bar, the toolbars, and the left pane of the METIS window. Options on the View menu in the METIS Model Browser window can then be used to show or hide these elements after the model has been loaded in the browser.
