markdd Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The Zoom Tool has a Zoom-out behavior when you activate the Option/Alt Key. Can anyone tell me precisely how the Zoom behavior relates to the marquee that you draw? Many thanks Mark 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeff Prince Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) I believe it works like this: It takes the ratio between the current screen zoom value and the drawn marquee's longest dimension (in screen units) and applies that to the current screen zoom. Example: Your screen shows a 10m x 10m square centered on the screen at a zoom% value of 233, which is displaying an area 20m tall. You draw an "option+zoom marquee" which is 10m tall and 5m wide, which is 50% of the current screen height. This results in a screen zoom% of 116, displaying an area 40m tall. The 5m width didn't factor because it was the short side of the rectangle, only the long side is used. Edited March 4 by Jeff Prince 4 Quote Link to comment
