As you edit your sketch, it may be necessary to zoom in on a particular
portion of the sketch to fine‑tune it. TOTAL Sketch provides three different
ways to help you adjust the on screen view of your sketch: Zoom, Pan, and Fit
Sketch to Screen.
- Zoom
- In a sketch, zoom in our out
of your sketch by clicking the Zoom In icon ( ) or Zoom Out
icon ( ) in the top toolbar
respectively. Alternatively, you can also press
Ctrl + on your keyboard to zoom in, or
Ctrl - on your keyboard to zoom out. Or, use the
scroll wheel on your mouse — scroll up on the mouse wheel to zoom in, or
scroll down to zoom out.
- Pan
- In a sketch, pan to a
specific part of your sketch at the current zoom level by clicking the
Pan icon ( ) in the top toolbar. Then, click
and hold your mouse button and drag the sketch canvas to the desired position.
Once you're satisfied with the placement of the sketch canvas, simply release
the mouse button and click Draw ( ) or Modify ( ) to resume sketching.
- Fit Sketch to Screen
- To quickly adjust the zoom and pan of the sketch window so that it centers
your entire sketch on your screen, click the Fit Sketch to
Screen icon ( ) in the main toolbar, or
simply press the letter C on your keyboard.
Zooming, panning, and fitting the sketch on your screen in TOTAL Sketch
only affects your view of the sketch inside of TOTAL Sketch — not the actual
scale of the sketch in your report. WinTOTAL and TOTAL scale your sketches
automatically to fit correctly into your report. No manual scaling is
required.
