Pan Window

Shift the view of the drawing in the active viewport so that it is centred on the point you indicate.

This function allows you to shift the view of the active viewport by indicating the new position that must be the centre of the view.

It is very similar to moving your cursor to a particular position and pressing [W].

Procedure

If you have split the drawing into multiple viewports, you need to click in the viewport you want to zoom to make it the active viewport. The active viewport will be highlighted with a yellow rectangle on it's borders.

To shift the drawing so that it is centred on a point that you indicate:

1. Select View ► Zoom ► Pan Window, or click the icon in the Zooms toolbar. Alternatively, press [Z]+[P]. If you press [Z], the pop-up Zoom menu appears. You can now either select the Pan Window option or press [P] to initiate the function.

2. You are prompted to:

Indicate new centre position

3. Move the cursor to the point you want positioned in the centre of the drawing area.

4. Click to indicate the point that must be centred in the drawing area.
