Zooming in/out of the canvas
Whether you are working on the scene-side or control-side canvas, you may want to the
characteristics of objects in greater detail by zooming in on the canvas. Similarly, you can
get an expanded or distanced view of the canvas by zooming out of the canvas.

• While holding down the ALT key, press the + (plus) key on your keyboard’s number pad.

• Hold down the ALT key and the right mouse button, then drag a rectangle
around the specific area that you want to zoom in on.

When you zoom in on a portion of the canvas, you may not see certain areas of the canvas.
Rather than zooming out and sacrificing the current zoomed view, you can maintain the
zoom scale and pan across the canvas to the desired area. See

Panning across the canvas
When you zoom in on a portion of the canvas, you may not see certain areas of the canvas.

zoom scale by panning across the canvas to the area that was otherwise outside of the
window’s display.
