Zoom Tool
The Zoom tool adjusts the magnification of the current view of a model.
You use the Zoom tool to change the zoom magnification of a model. The
following mouse click and key combinations are available to control how the
Zoom tool behaves:
■ SHIFT+click. If you hold down the SHIFT key before you click the Zoom
tool on a wheel, the current view is zoomed out by a factor of 25 percent.
Zooming is performed from the current location of the cursor, and not the
current pivot point.
NOTE When you start the Zoom tool from the Full Navigation wheel,
incremental zooming must be enabled in the properties dialog box for the
SteeringWheels in order to use CTRL+click and SHIFT+click.
■ CTRL+click. If you hold down the CTRL key before you click the Zoom tool
on a wheel, the current view is zoomed in by a factor of 25 percent.
Zooming is performed from the current pivot point, and not the location
of the cursor.
