Zoom function not workig

Post by John Powell »

Just a quick one. When i press controll /left mouse button and drag a square around
the area i wish to zoom in on, all that happens is the parts contained in this area are selected
(green hatch) but no zoom happens. I never had this problem in V5.
Can anyone help.
Nearly is not enough

John,

Make sure you see a Blue Box being drawn. Don't release the ctrl key to fast after dragging the box. If eCabinets is running slow, releasing the ctrl key too soon will cause the box to select parts instead of zooming. Sometimes I have to restart eCabinets to make this function properly.

John,

Try holding down the shift key while also holding both buttons on the mouse, now drag the mouse forward are backwards to get the zoom you need. Also to move the cabinet continue holding the shift key but only hold the right button down on the mouse.
