Moving on screen and zoomings

 

Recommendation to BabaCAD users is to use a mouse with middle scroller for more advanced work with program.

 

If an user has a mouse with a middle scroller (button), then the user will be able to perform the following operations much easier:

• The user will be able to move within the drawing (PAN) by holding the middle mouse button and moving the mouse at the same time
• The user will be able to zoom view in or out / closer or further view/ (ZOOM) by scrolling with the middle mouse button

 

 

Another way to perform these functions is by using PAN toolbar, which contain four functions as can be seen below:

Sequentially, these functions are:

 

1. Function for moving within the drawing (PAN)

Click on the first icon and you will be able to move within your drawing, cursor will look like a hand,

Then click with left mouse button on some point and hold pressed left mouse button,

Moving the mouse moves the whole picture if you are in Model Space. In case you are in Paper space, whole paper is moved.

 

Command in command line	ZOOM
Alias	Z

 

2. Zoom Realtime
