12: The Window Menu

The Window menu controls how documents are viewed. All open documents are listed at the bottom of the Window menu. The active document is designated with a check mark.

Show Rulers / Hide Rulers

The Show Rulers/Hide Rulers command is a toggle that displays or hides the screen rulers, displayed along the top and left side of the current window.

The exact horizontal and vertical location of the cursor is indicated by gray lines on the rulers.

The default location for the ruler origin (0,0) is the top left corner of the document. To change the origin, click in the box at the corner where the rulers meet and drag into the document. The new origin will be set where you release the mouse button. To restore the default ruler origin, double-click in the corner box.

The measurement units for the rulers are selected in the Mouse Coordinates palette. To set the default units, close all open documents and select the units you wish.

 

Magnification

The Magnification menu controls the enlargement or reduction of the document view. It is similar to the pop-up menu at the bottom left corner of the document window.

The Other command [Command-M] opens a dialog box that lets you choose a custom magnification factor. Select a new value from 1 to 32 by typing a number or using the arrow buttons and select either the Magnify or Reduce buttons.

The Zoom In [Command-+] and Zoom Out [Command- -] commands change the document view to the next magnification factor listed at the bottom of the menu.Window Menu wwwART Manual
