Drawing Navigation

Navigation in Drawing Viewer is controlled in the toolbar where we can change what left clicking on the drawing will do, by default left-click is set to select items on the drawing.

With a drawing open in the drawing viewer application, we can move around by right-clicking and dragging or with the “Drag to Move” button enabled we can left-click and drag.

To zoom in and out we can use the “scroll wheel” on your mouse or enable the “Zoom in/out” buttons on the toolbar where we can set the amount to zoom and then left clicking on the drawing to zoom in/out that amount.

To select items, we need to ensure that a selection mode is enabled from the toolbar , we can use either single selection (default option) or lasso selection to select items, holding the “Shift” key down will allow you to select multiple drawing items.
