In ViewX and Virtual ViewX, you can use the Zoom combo box to display a Mimic at default levels of magnification or to define a custom magnification level. The Zoom combo box is shown in the Navigation command group on the Home tab of the ViewX ribbon.
The Zoom feature is also made available via the context-sensitive menu that is displayed when you right-click on the background of a Mimic.
When you select the Zoom combo box, a list of default magnification levels is shown. You can choose any of the magnification levels or you can highlight the entry in the combo box and overwrite it by typing a new value.
Overwriting the Zoom value is useful when you need to set the Mimic to a specific level of magnification. For example, if a Mimic has a layer that is configured to be only visible when the Mimic is shown at 30-50% magnification, you can overwrite the Zoom value to any value in this range.
As well as the default levels of magnification, the Zoom combo box also provides 3 magnification options:
- Size to Picture—Magnifies the Mimic so that it makes maximum use of the ViewX Document Display Area. The aspect ratio maintains the dimensions of the Mimic and determines the amount of border that is shown.
- Size to Content—Magnifies the Mimic so that the content of the Mimic makes maximum use of the ViewX Document Display Area.
- Size to Selection—Magnifies the Mimic so that the Mimic display is zoomed in on the Mimic object you have selected.
The Zoom combo box is the magnification tool that provides you with the greatest amount of control—you can specify the exact amount of magnification required.
