Map zooming

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

Zoom a map with a background image or color background

You can select the scale of the zoom in the function menu of the map. You can access the menu by right-clicking any place on the map that is free from object icons.

To zoom, select the required scale value in the Zoom submenu or click the Fit to window item that is used to set the scale that allows the full map image to fit into the Map window. The selected scale is saved when you restart Axxon PSIM.

Zoom an external map

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