Macro View

Purpose

Open it by clicking the Macro View button on the Trace or Workspace ribbon.

Navigating using Macro View

Quickly move to a specific part of the image outside of the current field of view:

  • In the Macro View window, click the position you want to view; the area you clicked will be displayed in the Main window.

Macro View buttons/options
