Panning/Centering the Map

Use any of the following methods to pan (move) or center the map.

• Click anywhere on the current map view. The point you click becomes the

new map center.

• Double-click a layer name in the GIS workspace.
• When you point near the map edge, a white hand displays. Drag the hand to

move the map in that direction.

• Click the Grab and Pan button

on the toolbar to drag/pan the 2-D or 3-

D map in any direction.

• Click anywhere on the overview map. The point you click becomes the new

map center. This allows you to traverse greater distances with each mouse

click than you can within the main map.
