Locking a Mimic
You can use the Lock tool to determine whether a Mimic retains its original dimensions - which correspond to A4 paper (landscape) - when you resize the ViewX/Virtual ViewX window. This feature is useful for setting a Mimic so that it is shown in its entirety.
When you activate the Lock tool, the Mimic makes maximum use of the ViewX or Virtual ViewX Document Display Area. This means that the level of magnification is changed automatically so that the entire Mimic is visible.
When you de-activate the Lock tool, ViewX or Virtual ViewX disregards the Mimic' s original dimensions. The Mimic remains at its defined magnification and size—parts of the Mimic may be out of view when you resize the ViewX/Virtual ViewX window (although you will be able to scroll to any area of the Mimic).
To use the Lock tool:
- In ViewX or Virtual ViewX, select Zoom Lock in the Navigation command group on the Home tab.
- You can also right-click on the background of the Mimic to display a context-sensitive menu, then select the Zoom Lock option.
