General Preferences: Movement
AutoMove Settings
- AutoMove On: You can also use Move>AutoMove or the icon
to enable AutoMove.
- Center Cursor in AutoMove Area: Repositions the cursor to the center when AutoMove is used.
- Center Data in AutoMove Area: Use the center of the AutoMove area instead of the default (center of the tracing window) when repositioning the stage.
- The two centers can be different since the AutoMove area may not be centered in the main tracing window.
- If the video image does not take up the entire tracing window, the AutoMove area is centered over the image; video images are placed in the upper left corner of the tracing window. Depending on the size of the video image, centering data in the AutoMove area may be a better method of handling automatic stage movements.

- % of Screen Size: The amount of movement can be set to a fixed percentage of the size of the tracing window.
- The default is 75% of the size of the tracing window; this size typically balances overlap with efficiency in covering an area.
- Enter a value between 10 and 100%; for values outside of this range, use the User Specified option.
- AutoMove Area Size: Set the Field Movement Size visually.
- Movements in X are the same as the width of the box and movements in Y are the same as the height of the box.
- With this option selected, click Move>Define AutoMove Area to set the Field Movement Size.
- User Specified: Unlike the previous options, the values entered might not be applicable to all lenses because they are absolute values.
