2.4 MAP VIEWING OPTIONS
The scale of a map can be changed from the View
menu and by clicking the zoom buttons in the toolbar.
When a map is first displayed, the default size is 1 to 1
(1:1). Maps can be zoomed to 1/2 normal size (1:2), 1/
4 normal size (1:4), or 1/8 normal size (1:8). The
zoomed size remains in effect until changed.
If an entire map is not displayed in its window,
select menu item View -> Pan to choose the part of the
map to view. In the Pan dialog box, a rectangle repre-
sents the part of the map that will show in the window.
Click on the rectangle and drag it to the desired loca-
tion. Click “OK” to view the selected area in the map
window.
A grid (like graph paper) can be displayed on a
map by selecting menu item View -> Show Grid. This
menu item then changes to Hide Grid, which is used to
turn off the grid display. The horizontal and vertical
spacing of the grid lines can be changed by selecting
menu item View -> Set Grid.
