Is zoom possible on rendered toolpath

Post by webwizard2 »

Hi
Is there a way to zoom in on a rendered tool path? I have a large design with intricate work and it's impossible to see what the results are without cutting.
Thanks
Dale :D

You should be able to hold down your right mouse button and move the mouse forward to zoom.

Tip for zooming into a region in the 3D window.

Click and hold the Left mouse button to Rotate the design into the approximate position.

Click and hold the Left + Right mouse buttons together to Pan = move the design so the region of interest is in the Middle of the screen.

Click and hold the Right mouse button - Push = zoom in and Pull = zoom out.

Important - use Pan (Left + Right) to continually move the required region into the middle of the screen before Pushing with the Right mouse button to continue zooming in.

All sounds a tricky but soon becomes second nature.

Hope this helps,

Tony

Also if you have a scroll wheel on your mouse rolling it forward zooms in and rolling backwards zooms out.
