The Button Display toolbar contains shortcuts to the button display controls (also available via the Button
menu and the Design View context menu).
Zoom Toolbar
The Zoom toolbar contains shortcuts to the Zoom Controls. Use these options (also available via the Window
> Zoom sub-menu) to control the zoom factor on the selected page or popup page. The Zoom controls do not
affect the actual size of the selected object, only the way it is represented in the workspace area.
Selection/Drawing Tools Toolbar (Cont.)
Snap To Grid: This feature automatically snaps objects in the Design View windows to the
nearest grid lines (based on the Grid Size and Snap Tolerance settings in the
Appearance tab of the Preferences dialog - see the Preferences Dialog -
Appearance tab section on page 357).
• Pressing Ctrl + an arrow key combination will move the selected button one-
grid section at a time, regardless of grid visibility or grid snap status.
• Use Shift + Ctrl + arrow key combinations to resize a button one-grid
section at a time.
Note that the grid does not necessarily have to be displayed in order to
activate this feature.

selected button(s).

the state currently displayed; default = Off).

state currently displayed; default = Off).

Full Page: Automatically adjusts the zoom to show the entire page at 100% size.
Fit Page: Automatically adjusts the zoom to fit inside the Design View window.
Actual Size: Automatically adjusts the zoom to represent how large a page will appear
when actually displayed on the target panel type.
To use this option, you must first specify the monitor’s visible size in the
Monitor Size field of the Appearance tab of the Preferences dialog - see
page 357 for details.
The monitor size should represent the diagonal measurement of the visible
portion of the monitor or of the space occupied by a full-screen image, as
opposed to the monitor’s overall diagonal size. For example, most 21”
monitors typically have between a 19.5” and 20” viewable area.
Zoom Out: With a page or popup page selected, click the Zoom Out toolbar button to
reduce the display size of the selected object, in the increments listed in
the Zoom Control drop-down.
