Zoom and View Bar

In This Topic

The Zoom and View Bar allows you to quickly zoom the drawing view and also provides feedback about the current zoom level. It is located in the bottom-right corner of the MyDraw Main Screen and is illustrated in the following image:

The Zoom and View Bar has the following controls:

Start Presentation Button - switches the MyDraw application to Presentation Mode. In Presentation Mode you can navigate through the foreground pages and the bookmarks in them.

Zoom Out Button - zooms out the page (makes objects smaller). Press and hold this button to repeatedly zoom out.

Zoom In Button - zooms in the page (makes objects larger). Press and hold this button to repeatedly zoom in.

Zoom Slider - drag the slider thumb to interactively zoom the page.

Current Zoom Label - displays the page current zoom percentage. Clicking the zoom level label opens the Zoom dialog:

From this dialog you can zoom the page to either a fixed zoom percentage, or to a dynamically calculated zoom percentage that follows some logic such as Fit to Width, Fit to Height etc.

Zoom Mode Dropdown - from this drop-down you can change the page zoom mode. It allows you to select one of the following options:

Normal - this is the default zoom mode of the page. The page automatically switches to this mode when you manually zoom the page.
Fit – scales the page so that it fits completely within the drawing view window.
Fit to Width – scales the page to fit the width of the drawing view. Vertical scrolling is available if needed.
Fit to Height – scales the page to fit the height of the drawing view. Horizontal scrolling is available if needed.

Note that the difference between the Fit Commands selected from the Zoom Dialog and the Zoom Mode Dropdown is that the former applies a zoom to the page to fit the page at the time of execution, while the latter will constantly adjust the zoom to fit the page, until you manually zoom the page.
