Zoom

Controls magnification of a cellview through the following zoom commands:

• Zoom In: Magnifies the image in the cellview window by a factor of 2. To zoom in, you can also scroll up the mouse scroll wheel.
• Zoom Out: Reduces the image in the cellview window by a factor of 2. To zoom out, you can scroll down the mouse scroll wheel.
• Zoom To Area: Prompts you to create a box on the canvas and then magnifies the image defined by the box to fit in the cellview window.
• Zoom To Grid: Reduces the image to the smallest magnification at which the grid is visible.
• Zoom To Selected: Increases the image to the largest magnification at which the selected objects can be viewed in the cellview window.
• Zoom To Fit All: Redraws the window so that all objects in the cellview appear in the window. This saves time after you zoom or pan and want to see the entire cellview again.
• Zoom To Fit Edit: Places the cell that you are editing in the center during edit-in-place. If you are not editing in place, Zoom To Fit Edit has the same result as Zoom To Fit All.
