Introduction

Several Zoom functions are available to provide an optimal display of the elements in the current section (overview of the entire contents or display of details).

Zoom factor in % (FBD/LD/SFC)

The Zoom factors given in percentages increase or decrease the view of the section in proportion to its normal size. To see the section in its normal size, select 100% .

NOTE: For LD sections, the column width can be adjusted using the buttons, so that more text can be displayed keeping the same zoom factor (same line height).

The following Zoom factors are available:

  • 50%

    Decreases the section contents to half their normal size.

  • 75%

    Decreases the section contents to three-quarters of their normal size.

  • 100%

    Displays the section contents in normal size.

  • 200%

    Increases the section contents to double their normal size.

The menu command to set the Zoom factor is available:

  • via the View > Zoom menu.

  • with right click and menu Zoom for the section.

You can see which mode is active by way of a check-symbol before the menu command.

Custom... (FBD/LD/SFC)

This dialog box has two functions:

  • Displaying the current Zoom factor as a percentage

    When the dialog box is opened, the Zoom % list displays the current Zoom factor.

  • Defining any Zoom factor as a percentage

    You can define the Zoom factor by entering the Zoom factor as a percentage or by selecting a percentage from the list of already used Zoom factors.

The menu commands to set the user-defined Zoom factor is available:

  • via the menu View > Zoom > Custom....

  • with right click and menu Zoom > Custom... for the section.

You can see which mode is active by way of a check-symbol before the menu command.

Zoom to Fit (FBD/LD/SFC)

For FBD and SFC sections the contents are minimized horizontally and vertically so that the whole section can be seen.

For LD sections the contents are minimized horizontally so that the whole section width can be seen. Adjusting the column width using the buttons double (|M|) or triple (|L|) the number of visible lines.

If the size of the section is changed, the section contents are automatically adapted to the new size.

The menu command to set the window size is available:

  • via the menu View > Zoom > Zoom to fit.

  • with right click and menu Zoom > Zoom to fit for the section.
