Introduction

To drag an object such as a window, move your cursor over the object, click and hold down the left mouse button,
and then move the object to the desired location and release the left mouse button.

The Wheel

If you have a Windows operating system that supports a mouse with a wheel, such as the MS Intellimouse, then
you can use the wheel for several functions, if your mouse has a wheel.

Scrolling – If a scroll bar is available in a window or dialog, move the cursor into that window or
dialog and roll the wheel forward or back and the scroll bar should move accordingly.

Zoom – Holding the Ctrl key down and rolling the wheel forward or back zooms the current map in
and out. This will even work on the Preview Window if the cursor is located over it.

Pan – Rolling the wheel forward or back, pans the current map up and down. Holding the Shift key
down and rolling the wheel forward and back will pan the current map left and right. This will also
work on the Preview Window if the cursor is located over it.

Adjusting and Docking Windows

All the windows that comprise the software’s main window can be adjusted to a different size, and some can be
undocked from there current location and moved around the screen as separate windows from the main window. To
adjust the size of a window move your cursor over the border of a window until you see a symbol with two parallel bars
and arrows on each side. When this icon appears click and hold the left mouse button and drag the edge to adjust the
size of the window. This is most useful for adjusting the size of the Layer window to view more of the legend, or the
opposite to see a larger map. To undock windows, and view them as separate floating windows, click on the gray
double bar above a window, click and hold the left mouse button down, and drag the window to a new location. The
window will now appear as a separate window from the main window. To re-dock the window with the main window,
click and hold the left mouse button down in the area at the top of the window and drag the window until your cursor
crosses one of the edges of the main window. The window will then automatically dock.
