Creating a Floor Plan > Manipulating the View > Zooming

Zooming In is easy using the various zoom tools that Icovia has to offer. There are several ways you can zoom in:

Using the Zoom Command:

You can zoom in using the Zoom In command of the View menu. Unlike the Zoom In tool in the editor toolbar, this zooms in from the center of the current view and does not require a screen-pick. It zooms in at small increments.

You can also invoke this command from the keyboard by pressing the [Ctrl][Shift][=] to zoom and center your plan. Or use [Ctrl][+] combination to just zoom in.

Using the Zoom In Tool:

Use the Zoom in tool to zoom and pan (scroll) simultaneously. Click on the tool in the editor toolbar and then click anywhere on the floor plan to zoom into the floor plan. Your cursor takes on the shape of the zoom in tool to indicate that the zoom in tool has been selected. Click again if you want to zoom in more. You can keep clicking on the floor plan with the zoom in tool until you zoom in to the level you want.

Using the Zoom Percentage:

You can also zoom in by selecting or entering the zoom percentage in zoom % box at the bottom of the screen on the left. Type in or Click on the button to see the zoom percentages available and select how much you want to zoom in.

Using the Zoom Window:

This method allows you to define a window in the work area to zoom to. To use this feature, select the Zoom In tool. Pick one point in the work area and without removing your finger from the mouse, drag the cursor to another point. A zoom window will be outlined in transparent orange based on the points you pick.
