GeoPlan magnifier window
The magnifier window allows a small area of the GeoPlan window to be seen in much greater detail. Moving the magnifier around the GeoPlan displays a small area around the current cursor position at a much higher zoom level. Once the magnifier has been positioned, several standard GeoPlan operations can be carried out within the magnified area.
GeoPlan Magnifier
Switching on the magnifier
To switch on the magnifier, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys with the mouse cursor over the area of interest on the GeoPlan window.
Moving an existing magnifier
To move an existing magnifier, position the mouse cursor close to the centre of the magnifier window, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys and move the cursor to the required location. A new magnifier is created at the location of the cursor as it is moved. It is best to move the window slowly to allow detail to redraw correctly.
Release the Ctrl and Shift keys when the magnifier is positioned correctly.
Magnifier operations
A number of single-click operations are available within the magnifier window as well as elsewhere on the GeoPlan window. These are all available on the Tools toolbar. They are:
- selection tool
. - information tool
. - object graphing
tool
. - long
section pick tool
.
Removing an existing magnifier
To remove an existing magnifier window, click anywhere in the GeoPlan window outside the magnifier.
Changing the zoom level
The zoom level of the magnifier can be changed by using the - and + keys or by rotating the scroll wheel on the mouse.
