Zoom All

Press Ctrl+0 or go to View → Zoom All to fit the entire drawing into the viewport. This is useful after importing a file or when you've lost your position.

Zoom Window

  1. Activate with Ctrl+W or View → Zoom Window
  2. Click and drag a rectangle around the area of interest
  3. The viewer zooms to fit that rectangle

Zoom Realtime

In Zoom Realtime mode, drag the mouse vertically to zoom smoothly in and out.

Panning

Middle-mouse-button drag always pans, regardless of the active tool mode. This means you can measure or select while panning without switching modes.
