View Indicator

The View Indicator appears in the Pan View window when you have zoomed in on any portion of the Image Window.  The View Indicator is black, and the more you zoom in, the smaller the indicator in the Pan View window becomes.

For example, if you zoom in only 10%, the View Indicator will encompass most of the Pan View because you are still viewing the majority of the plan in the Image Window.

If you zoom in further, to 80%, the View Indicator in the Pan View narrows down to that specific portion of the plan you are now viewing in the Image Window.

To move to other locations of the plan in the Image Window,

  1. Position your mouse on the View Indicator in the Pan View window, click and hold down on either the left or right mouse button.  You cursor will become the Pan tool, .

  2. While holding down the mouse button, drag the View Indictor to the desired location in the Pan View window.  The plan in the Image Window will move relative to the mouse.

  3. Release the mouse button when you have reached the desired location on the plan in the Pan View window.  You will now be viewing this new location in the Image Window.

You can also move to another location in the Image Window by using the View Indicator by clicking the left mouse button in the Pan View window.
