Alternative Zoom method for Dash and System Panel

Post by Jay Dee »

Hi guys,
Using a laptop without a third button or scroll wheel, you cant zoom these panels.
Sure, laptops are not used for the bulk of development; but in the field not being able to zoom these panels, is a real pain. :(
Or am i being stupid an missed something?

You're not being stupid, but there are other ways you can zoom on the panels that might help...

For example, you can right-click on the panel and have the options "previous view" and "view to 100%".

You can also zoom to an area by making sure the "select objects" icon on the panel is unselected and selecting the "zoom area" icon. When you now drag an area on the panel, it will zoom to that area. Unfortunately, zooming out is only currently available using the right-click options "previous view" and "view to 100%".

Whilst not as easy as using the mouse wheel, this should give you some way of zooming around the panels.
