CENTRALISING YOUR TARGET Click in the region of your target and drag it into the centre of your display. Now zoom in a level. Continue to zoom in whilst ever your target remains in the centre. If it moves away from the centre, and it will because it's difficult to place it dead centre, simply Click&Drag it back to the centre. After repeating this several times your target location may come into view, particularly if it's a large feature, or you may have to continue to zoom in until the lowest level at 18:18. With the target in the centre of your printout mouseOver the Bird's Eye icon on the Navigation Panel and if the icon highlights that indicates that your location is available in Bird's Eye view. Having decided which view you want to print, press [Ctrl]+[-] until you can view the full extent of what will be printed and make any final adjustments to place your target exactly where you want it. |
