Tools Menu
The Tools Menu offers the following commands:
Zoom Tool
• Zoom - Allows the user to zoom in on a specific point in the display.
• Pan (Grab-and-Drag) - Drag the view to a new location.
• Measure - Measures length as well as an enclosed area.
• Feature Info - Chooses an object to display its attributes.
• Path Profile/LOS - Generate 3D path profile and perform line of sight (LOS) calculations
• View Shed Analysis - Perform view shed analysis using loaded elevation grid data
• Digitizer - Modify existing vector features and create new ones.
• Coordinate Convertor - Easy reprojection/conversion of coordinates
• Control Center - Central control for all loaded overlays.
• Configure - General Global Mapper setup.
• Map Layout - Setup Map Layout Display (scale bar, margins, north arrow, etc.)
The Zoom command selects the zoom tool as the current tool.
To zoom in on a specific point, choose the [Zoom tool] from the toolbar or, [Tool/Zoom] from menu bar. A
magnifying glass icon should appear on the screen. To zoom in, left click without dragging the mouse. The
view is centered on where the mouse was clicked and will zoom in by a factor of two. To zoom out, right click
without dragging the mouse. The view will zoom out by a factor of two, centered on where the mouse was
clicked. You can also hold down the Ctrl key while right clicking to restore the view to the last zoomed view.
Alternately, one can zoom in to a user-defined rectangle by left clicking and then draging a box while holding
down the left mouse button.
If your mouse has a middle button, you can hold it down and drag the map similar to the behavior of the Pan
(Grab-and-Drag) tool.
Pan (Grab-and-Drag) Tool
The Pan (Grab-and-Drag) command selects the Pan tool as the current tool.
To change the center point of the image without changing the magnification, depress the left mouse button,
drag the view to the desired location, then release the left mouse button to redraw the view at the new
location.
If you just want to recenter on a new location without dragging, just click the left mouse button at the new
desired location and the view will be recentered on that location (this provides the functionality of the old
Recenter Tool).
