General preferences: Movement

You can also use Move>AutoMove to enable AutoMove.

Repositions the cursor to the center when AutoMove is used.

 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.

 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.

 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.

Unlike the previous options, the values entered might not be applicable to all lenses because they are absolute values.
