If your mouse has a wheel it can be used for zooming in the active view . Move the wheel forward to zoom in and backward to zoom out, at the centre of the screen. To zoom relative to the current cursor position, pick a point on the model and move the wheel while holding down the Ctrl key. The cursor position will be moved to the centre of the screen and zooming will occur at that point. |
Zoom
to a window
Select the Zoom Window icon and in the active view hold down the left-hand mouse button. Drag the cursor to cover the area that you want to zoom and release the left-hand mouse button. The part of the model covered by the window will fill the extents of the view.
Zoom
the model extents
Select the Zoom extents icon and the complete model will be displayed within the active view.

Double-clicking the mouse wheel will display the complete model within the active view. To disable this functionality, create a new PCI Variable !checkMDoubleClick=0 and restart EdgeCAM in GLview. |
Mouse Wheel Sensitivity
Adjust the mouse wheel sensitivity (on the General tab of the Options, Preferences dialog) by entering a value which will act as the zoom factor applied on each ‘click’ of the wheel. If ‘2’ (the default value) is used the magnification will be multiplied by that amount when the mouse wheel is moved forwards and divided by that amount when the mouse wheel is moved backwards. A value of 1.5 will make the mouse wheel more sensitive.
Note: Using a value of 0.5 has the effect of reversing the zoom direction, i.e. moving the wheel backwards will zoom in and moving the wheel forwards will zoom out. The maximum value allowed is 100 but it is recommended to use values in the range of 0 -10.
