MaxMotion for Machines Chapter 8-121

Dimensions

The next three lines of the tool palette provide information about the

size and locations of shapes in the drawing. Initially, and any time there

are no objects selected in the drawing, the numbers shown represent the

overall height and overall width of the entire drawing. The drawing

may show up in different magnification ratios, but the dimensions

shown always represent the full scale dimensions of the drawing.

Any time you make a selection of one or more shapes, the dimensions

shown represent only the outside dimensions of this selected shape or

shapes. This is a convenient way to find out the height of a line of text

in a multi-line layout: you can select the line you are interested in and

read the dimensions in the tool palette to find out if the text is scaled to

the proper height.

When the selector icon is being used to move a shape, the numbers in

the tool palette indicate the distance that the shape or shapes have

moved from the initial position.

Magnify (Ctrl+Shift+M)

Selecting the magnifying glass icon allows you to zoom in or out of the

drawing as it appears on the screen. This has no effect at all on the

actual size of the drawing. To change the actual size of the drawing

you must use the “Scale Shapes...” menu option in the “Graphics”

menu.

When you initially open a drawing file or plot file, MaxMotion will

automatically reduce the drawing to fit the screen of your computer. If

the drawing is shown at less than full size, and you want to enlarge the

view, click the mouse with the magnifying glass anywhere in the

viewing window and the screen view will double in size. To go back to

the reduced view, hold down the shift key. The plus sign within the

magnifying glass frame will change to a minus sign, and clicking the

mouse with the shift button held will now reduce the screen image to

1 2 ... 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 ... 251 252
