Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The enlarged view makes it possible to view a symbol or sub-circuit in much greater detail than the thumbnail offers, even when it is set to the largest possible size.

 

Simply right-click on the symbol or sub-circuit and select Display enlarged view of symbol in the context menu that appears, as shown in the figure below.

You can adjust the size of the window according to your own preferences, by simply dragging the borders of it, in the ordinary Windows manner. It is also possible to zoom, pan and even print from the enlarged view. You can zoom and pan using the mouse-wheel in a similar way as in AutoCAD. You can also right-click in the view, to access a context menu, like shown in the figure below.
