Description

Moves the view displayed on the screen in the direction specified, maintaining the same level of magnification. You can use pan at any time, including nested in another command.

When you specify a direction, the view window moves across the design in that direction, with part of the original artwork view still visible. If pan is interrupted, a partially drawn window might be left on the screen.

The GUI equivalent for this command is View—Pan—Up, View—Pan—Down, View—Pan—Left, View—Pan—Right.

-window_id i_windowID	Specifies the identifier of the window to pan in. If this option is not specified, the view in the active window is shifted.
