Fine-Tuning Your View
Back in Figure 6.8, you may have noticed that parts of the burners don't appear on the display.
To move the view over so you can see all the burners, use the Pan command. Pan is similar to
Zoom in that it changes your view of the drawing. However, Pan doesn't alter the magnification
of the view the way Zoom does. Rather, Pan maintains the current magnification while moving
your view across the drawing, just as you would pan a camera across a landscape.
To activate the Pan command, follow these steps:
1. Click Pan from the status bar. You can also choose View Pan Realtime from the menu
bar or type P ↵ You can also right-click and choose Pan from the shortcut menu or hold
down the spacebar while moving the mouse or swiping on the trackpad. A small hand-
shaped cursor appears in place of the AutoCAD cursor.
2. Place the hand cursor in the center of the drawing area, and then click and drag it down-
ward and to the left. The view follows the motion of your mouse.
3. Continue to drag the view until it looks similar to Figure 6.10; then release the mouse button.
4. To finish the kitchen, you want a view that shows more of the drawing area. Right-click
to open the Zoom/Pan shortcut menu, and then choose Zoom. The cursor changes to the
Zoom Realtime cursor. The Zoom/Pan shortcut menu also appears when you right-click
during the Zoom Realtime command.
5. Place the cursor close to the top of the screen, and click and drag the cursor downward
to zoom out until your view looks like Figure 6.11. You may need to click and drag the
Zoom Realtime cursor a second time to achieve this view.
