View Menu
The View menu allows you to control what you see on the de-
signer form.
Zoom Out - Reduces the size of the cassette image display so
that more of the layout can be seen on the screen. Zoom factors
range from 10 to 200 %. Note that as you zoom out, detail is lost
when the image is reduced in size.
Zoom In - Increase the size of the cassette image display. This
allows you to see more detail, at the expense of seeing less of
the cassette image at one time.
Anchors - Each field is anchored to the layout in the lower left
corner of the field. It is sometimes handy to see this anchor
point. When anchors are enabled, a small red circle is drawn on
the display at each field's anchor point.
Grid - A grid display can be overlaid onto the cassette layout image to aid in
locating fields. The grid is shown as a matrix of green dots on the cassette
background. The size (density) of the grid is controlled in the Preferences
dialog. When the "Snap to Grid" feature is enabled, this is the grid that con-
trols the field location.
Normal - Set the view mode to "normal". The cassette is shown such that
the direction of cassette feed is from right to left.
Portrait - Set the view mode to "portrait". The cassette view is rotated such
that the direction of cassette feed is from bottom to top. This view makes it
easier to layout cassettes whose text is rotated 90 degrees from normal.
Toolbars - The designer form has several toolbars that make it easy to ac-
cess certain program features. If your display is small or appears cluttered,
you can turn off the view of these toolbars as needed with the Toolbars
submenu.
Generate Image - Select this menu item to force the cassette image to be
redrawn.
