View Menu

The following table describes the View menu items.

 
Note: By default, zoom operations do not affect the text. Select Options > Enable Scale Text to change the size of both the text and lines when you zoom into and out of the canvas.
To zoom in to a particular area of a drawing, select Zoom Area.

Drag a rectangle around the area of the drawing that you want to zoom into.

The area you selected expands to fill the canvas.
To zoom into a drawing, select Zoom In.

The drawing expands approximately 30%.

Use the scroll bars to pan the window.

To further enlarge the drawing, you can select Zoom In several times.
To zoom out of a drawing, select Zoom Out.

The drawing contracts approximately 30%.

Use the scroll bars to pan the window.
Select Full View to return to the original size.
Occasionally erroneous graphics can remain on the screen during editing. Use this operation to clear them from the screen display.
Select Grid again to turn the grid display off.
Displays the Grid Setting dialog box, which allows you to change the grid settings. The grid consists of a matrix of points the pointer/drawing elements snap to.
The Grid Setting dialog box shows the width and height of the drawing frame, but this information is only for reference. You cannot change these values.
To specify the spacing of the grid points, set the Grid Spacing number. The up and down arrows provide a quick way to double or halve the spacing between grid points.
To specify how many of the grid points to show, use the Every nth grid point field. (If this value is 1, all the grid points are shown. If this value is 2, only every 2nd grid point is shown, etc. The other grid points exist; however, you cannot see them.)
Click Apply to apply your changes and continue, and click OK when you are finished.
You can choose whether to display the Rational Statemate toolbar vertically along the left side of the window or horizontally across the top of the window. In the Rational Statemate main window, select View > Toolbars > Tools (Horiz.) or Tools (Vert.).
