Magnifying and reducing the view


You can choose from a menu of magnification percentages or click to zoom in on a particular area. In either case, you work separately on the main central pane or on any of three peripheral panes: scratch, reference, or pending. You can also use a slider for precision magnification control of the central pane.

To magnify or reduce the view with a Zoom menu:

Click the button at the bottom left corner of the central or peripheral pane (), and choose a magnification level from the menu that pops up.

To zoom in on a particular area:

1 Hold down Shift (Windows) or Option (MacOS). If the pointer is in a pane you have not already zoomed in on, it changes to a plus (). Otherwise it changes to a minus ().

2 Do one of the following in either the central pane or a peripheral pane:
  • Move the pointer to the area and click. The magnification changes to 200% when you do this the first time. It changes to 100% when you do it again in the same pane.
  • Draw a rectangle defining the area and release. The area enlarges to fill the pane. You can do this repeatedly, until the magnification reaches 500%.

    • You can use the Site Navigator both for focusing the view on a particular area and for magnifying it. This has the same effect as zooming it.

    To magnify or reduce the view with the Site Navigator:

    1 Choose Window > Site Navigator.

    2 Do one of the following:
  • Click the zoom in () or zoom out () button.
  • Drag the zoom slider.
  • Enter the percentage of magnification or reduction you want, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
