Viewing Documents
This section describes how you can adjust your view of a document. Viewing options in Canvas X Draw lets you:
- Control when Canvas X Draw redraws objects.
- Scroll to any area with the Hand tool or scroll bars.
- Increase or decrease the view magnification.
- Restore any view magnification and location.
- Display wireframe and process-color views.
Controlling When Canvas X Draw Refreshes the Display
Canvas X Draw refreshes the display, which redraws all visible objects, when you scroll or change magnification. When you work with complex images, you can interrupt the redraw to save time, then refresh the display when you’re ready.
To Interrupt Display Redraw:
Press Esc during normal redraw.
To Refresh the Display:
Choose Layout | Display | Refresh. You can refresh the display after interrupting screen redraw, or when you want to refresh the display.
Scrolling Documents
You can use scroll bars or the Hand tool to move to areas of a document that aren’t displayed in the document window.
Using Scroll Bars
Document scroll bars represent the full document area. The position of the scroll box within a scroll bar indicates the current view area.
To Scroll Using Scroll Bars:
Do one of the following:
- Click one of the arrows to move in the arrow direction.
- Drag the scroll box toward the part of the document you want to see. For example, drag up to see more of the top.
- Click the scroll bar to scroll one screen length toward the side of the scroll box that you clicked. For example, click to the right of the scroll box to move one screen to the right.
Using the Hand Tool
Using the Hand tool to scroll a document is like sliding a piece of paper on a desktop.
To temporarily switch to the Hand tool while using another tool, press the Spacebar and drag with the Hand pointer.
To Scroll with the Hand Tool:
- Select the Hand tool. The pointer becomes a hand.
- Drag to make the document follow the pointer. e.g. To move a document up so you can see the bottom, drag toward the top of the screen.
