2D Zooming With the Keyboard
Use the keyboard shortcuts to activate different zoom functions.
Most of the available keyboard shortcuts are listed in the zoom tools drop-down list.
The keyboard shortcuts operate similar to using the toolbar.
Some of them require additional mouse actions, while others apply a zoom level immediately.
To zoom using keyboard shortcuts:
-
Make sure the focus is on the 2D desk (or click the pattern design area)
-
Type the keyboard key, or combination of keys of the required zoom function.
-
Complete the action with the mouse if needed.
