Interactive Image Position Control
Users can move the viewing position interactively using the Video window,
Map View window, and the List View dialog box.
The Video window provides the fine position control. There are three basic
techniques:
1. Point-And-Shoot
Double-clicking anywhere on the video window moves the image to that
position. For example, if the device IC1 can be seen in the lower left corner of
the screen, then to move to IC1, use the mouse to point to IC1 and double-
click the left mouse button. The image should move so that IC1 is at the
centre of the screen after movement is completed.
2. Incremental Move
There are eight triangles overlaid on the perimeter of the video window. Each
triangle is an incremental move button: to move one field of view in the
selected direction, place the cursor on the appropriate triangle and click the
left mouse key.
3. Panning
Panning moves the image slowly and continuously in a straight line. Its best
use is for fine positioning. There is a dotted line rectangle on the perimeter of
the video window which marks the action zone for panning. To initiate
panning, place the cursor inside the dotted rectangle near one of the dotted
lines, depress and hold down the left mouse button, move the mouse pointer
slowly towards the outside of the rectangle. The image will start to move once
the mouse pointer is outside the dotted rectangle. The farther away the
mouse pointer is from the rectangle, the faster the image will move. By
moving the mouse toward and away from the dotted rectangle you can control
the speed of the motion. Releasing the mouse button stops the motion.
The Map View window provides a global view of the entire PCB. The window
is divided into squares, with each square representing one image view. The
Map View also provides coarse image positioning. For example, double-
clicking on a square anywhere in the window moves the image to the
corresponding position on the board. Double-clicking on the top right corner
of the map view moves the image to the top right corner of the board.
The Device List View provides device-oriented image positioning. The device
list View dialog lists all the devices’ reference IDs (i.e., R12, IC34, etc.) in
alphabetical order. The user can scroll the list to find a device. After a device
is found in the list, the user can conveniently move the image to view the
device simply by double-clicking on the device’s reference ID in the list.
