Using the magnifier
The Graphical View has a built-in "magnifier" to enable you to view part of the Graphical View in detail.
For example, if your Graphical View contains a large number of objects, and you need to see all objects at all times, you may not be able to see objects in detail. Using the magnifier, you can "hover" over part of the Graphical View and see the constituent items in detail:
To use the magnifier:
- Left click the
icon located in the bottom right hand corner of the Graphical View. The mouse pointer will changer to a red outlined "magnifier". - Move the magnifier around the Graphical View to see the objects in more detail.
- Click the mouse button again to return to normal working.
Bringing focus to selected objects
Using the magnifier, you can force the Graphical View to focus on a selected object:
- Left click the icon located in the bottom right hand corner of the Graphical View. The mouse pointer will changer to a red outlined "magnifier".
- Move the magnifier around the Graphical View to see the objects in more detail.
- Locate the object you want to focus on.
- Hold down SHIFT and left-click with your mouse.
- The Graphical View will focus on the central point of the magnifier when you clicked the mouse.
- Click the mouse button again to return to normal working.
