Manipulating 2D Views

Manipulating 2D Views describes the standard mechanisms provided by the Forms and Menus software for manipulating a 2D view using the mouse buttons, number keypad and function keys.

The mouse buttons are referred to as:

• MB2 (adjust).

• MB3 (popup).

  If you press MB3 when the cursor is over the view canvas, the popup view menu is displayed. This will either be the default menu supplied by the Forms and Menus software, or an application-specific version if provided, either by AVEVA or by your own customization.

  This section describes the default menu.

Zooming is done using:

• The MB2 (adjust) mouse button.

• The numeric keypad.

• PageUp, PageDown and Home keys.

Panning is done using:

• The view scrollbars.

• The numeric keypad.

  Note:
  The Reset Limits option on the View popup-menu, which will return to the initial view limits.
