Map scaling

Map scaling allows enlarging and reducing the size of the image shown in the Map window.

Scaling a map with an image or color background

The scale is selected via the functions menu of the Map, which is called up by a right mouse click on any place on the Map, which contains no object symbols.

To set the scale, select the required scale value in the Scale sub-menu or click the Fit to window point, which is designed to set the scale allowing the full Map image to fit into the Map window. The selected scale is restored after Axxon PSIM software restart.

Scaling an external map

If an external map is selected the layer background (see Configuring the external Map server), then the map scale is also selected using the Zoom item in the functional menu, however, the scale is set as a number from 1 to 19 (4 by default). The current value is displayed on the bottom line of the Zoom submenu.

You can also scale the external map using the mouse wheel while holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard.
