Long Pan

Pan to another part of your drawing at the same magnification factor.

This function allows you to pan to an area of the drawing at the same magnification factor, using a "birds eye view" of the entire drawing and a target rectangle to specify the pan target. Use the Long Pan function if you have zoomed the drawing and would like to view another part of the drawing at the same magnification factor.

Use the Zoom Last function to return to the previous zoom. You can also use named views to quickly switch between predefined views.
