Panning allows a user to move the plans around the screen to view exactly what is necessary.  Functionally, the same as using the scroll bars to move an image up/down and side-to-side but much faster.

 

The Pan Window shows a smaller view of the image in the Image View window.  The View Indicator, see below, represents what is currently displayed in a zoomed view on the Image View window.  The view can also be panned from this window.

View Indicator

The View Indicator appears in the Pan View window when zoomed in on any portion of the Image Window. The View Indicator is black, and the more the zoom in increased, the smaller the indicator in the Pan View window becomes.  If the page is zoomed to "fit page" or if the image is smaller than the Image View window, the View Indicator disappears from the Pan Window.

Examples

When the page is zoomed to only 10%, the View Indicator encompasses most of the Pan View because the majority of the plan is shown the Image Window.

 

When the zoom is set higher, to 80% for example, the View Indicator in the Pan View narrows down to that specific portion of the plan now displayed in the Image Window. This helps keep track of what portion of the plan image is being displayed at all times.

 

 

Using the Pan View window and indicator to move to other locations of the plan in the Image Window

The View Indicator and Pan Window make panning to a specific region of the current page easy.
