The Fit to Canvas feature allows you to automatically adjust the zoom level of the display to fit all symbols within the visible area of the canvas. When clicked, the display will be zoomed in or out as necessary to ensure that all symbols are visible without the need for scrolling.

Choose Zoom

The Choose Zoom feature allows you to select a specific zoom level for the display. When clicked, a dropdown menu is activated, allowing you to choose from predefined zoom levels (e.g., 50%, 100%, 150%, etc.) or enter a custom zoom percentage using the zoom setting on the Display Status bar.
