Pan Point

The Pan-Point command allows you to translate the drawing position in the graphics area to a different location using the mouse. The Pan-Point command is transparent - it may be selected within another command without canceling the current command.

  1. From the View menu choose Pan-Point, or from the Common toolbar select image\view_pan_button.jpg.
  2. Select a point on the screen to be translated.
  3. Select a second point (the translation point) that the first point will move to. The distance and direction between the two specified points dictates the magnitude of the move.

This command is similar to holding down the mouse wheel at a specific point and dragging the cursor.
