Zoomer

Zoomer Bounces In and Out
WildTools provides a powerful zooming feature known as Zoomer. You invoke Zoomer by pressing the Command and Option keys.

Command-Option-click on a part of the drawing to zoom in to
normal size, then Command-Option-click to zoom back out.

As the primary function, Zoomer allows you to bounce between Reduce to Fit and Normal Size. It's like bending over to look at a drawing up close and then sitting up straight to look at the whole drawing.

You can also drag a rectangle to zoom in on a particular area.

Zoom In and Out While Drawing
And a really nice thing about Zoomer is that it's built into the tools in WildTools, so you can zoom in and out while in the process of drawing. Let's try it.

Start a line, zoom out, zoom back in to a new location, and complete the line.

In this case, we want to draw a line from the top left part of the drawing to the bottom right. We begin drawing the line (in click-click or hybrid click-click), use Zoomer to zoom out to reduce-to-fit view, move the cursor to the bottom right, use Zoomer to zoom in to normal size and complete the line. It's all very easy to learn and very intuitive.

WildTools is an extra-cost add-on to PowerCADD. The features described for WildTools are only available if you purchase WildTools in addition to PowerCADD.
