1. Apply a sufficient zoom level - zoom.

   With the scroll wheel of the mouse

   The scroll wheel of the mouse allows you to zoom in and out in any situation, even in case of active functions and open dialogs.

   Scroll up Zoom

   You approach the model. The position of the cursor defines the focus point.

   Example 1

   If the mouse cursor is on the upper left corner of the area of interest, the image expands downward from the right.

   

   Example 2

   Puts the focus on the lower right corner of the area, the image extends up to the left.

   Example 2

   If the focus is on the lower right corner of the screen, which moves the reducing image to the lower right.

   

   Click+Hold, move mouse downwards zoom window, define the zoom window

   The cursor appears as a magnifying glass. You can drag a window to determine the zoom area.

   

   Click+Release Zoom out with 50%.

   You move away from the model with every click until the image is reduced to 50%.

   Function/Keys	Effect
   Zoom All [Ctrl] +[Home]	The display is optimized so that the entire model appears on the screen. The borders of the model are completely visible within the screen.
   Zoom Extent [Ctrl] +[End]	The display is optimized so that the entire model appears on the screen. The borders of the model touch the screen.
   Zoom to assumed extent of drawing. Exclude objects far away. [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[Z]	Note This is useful only during the processing of DWG/DXF files. The display is optimized so that objects lying far outside the plot are ignored. Example You may occasionally receive drawings in which individual fragments are positioned outside the floor plan. This means that the actual drawing after calling the function Zoom All appears as a point or spot on the screen. With Zoom to assumed extent of drawing. Exclude objects far away. you can avoid this effect.
   Zoom Window [Shift]+[W]	The cursor appears as a magnifying glass. When holding down left mouse button you can drag a window to determine the zoom area.
   Zoom Centre...	After the function is started, DDScad will expect a position that is to be placed at the center of the screen: Click on the position of interest. The visible range is shifted so that the displayed position is in the center of the screen. The image is neither zoomed in or out.
   Zoom In [Ctrl] +[PgDn]	The image is enlarged with factor two.
   Zoom Out [Ctrl] +[PgUp]	The image is reduced by half.

   DDScad symbolizes a vertical pipe as a circle with the dimension of the nominal diameter.

   

2. Point into the circle. The circle appears as a marked object. DDScad displays the information about the pipe and the current position. The displayed height corresponds to the center of the vertical section, measured from FFL.
