“Zoom” in to Take a Closer Look


ZoomThe set of tools that I tend to use the most are the Zoom Advanced Tools. While they don’t play a huge role in creating the project, they help while you’re making changes or need to zoom in and out of your image. Here is a run down of what those tools do. The Zoom Previous icon allows you to see the view that you had it at previously. Zoom Selected allows the image to be fitted to your screen. That means it brings the image up close to you on the screen, by zooming up on it. This feature will only work if the image is selected on your screen. This makes it great when you are working with a lot of pieces to your project, but only need to zoom up on one element of that project to check for smooth lines, or make sure that the image is exactly the way you want it. The Zoom All feature works the same way, but instead of only seeing the one image you have selected it brings the entire project up close regardless of to the amount of elements you have on your screen. You will not need to have an image selected to use this feature. The Zoom Page takes you back to a full view of your image on the page. I use this feature the most after I have zoomed up on my project to make a few changes. The Zoom Small icon takes the page and makes everything smaller. This is nice if you have a huge project that exceeds the page size and you need more room to see what you’ve created.

Once you start using these icons I know you will continue to use them. It’s nice to know what things do and how to use them, and unless you’ve tried them before you just never know how they can assist you when you create your cutting files.

    I have never used some of those icons before and will have to give them a try. Thanks for showing us all of the short cuts!
