Want to be able to pan and zoom around your simulation easily? No problem, by using The Overview Window you can do just that.
The Overview Window is available from the view tools on the status bar (located at the bottom right hand corner).
Once you click the button, click on your simulation and a box will appear. Drag the box around the window to change what part of your simulation you see in the main screen.
Use the scroll button on your mouse to zoom in and out.
Yep, it’s as easy as that! Click here to see a video of this feature in action.
Did you find this tip useful? Is there anything you’d like us to cover next week? If so, please let us know.
Simple, easy and OK but would have been greatly enhanced by a picture of the simulation being panned and zoomed as well as just a control.
Also the tip is about panning as well as zooming but the desciption and the pictured control only talks about zooming.
Roger,
Thanks for your comment! As you suggested, we added a picture of the simulation being panned and zoomed, plus there’s also a video.
The video offers a great visual representation of how you can pan around your simulation.
