Changing your view
Moving side to side
You can move the pathway side to side:
- In the pathway window, slide the bottom horizontal scrollbar left and right to pan the pathway.
Moving up and down
You can move the pathway up and down:

Zooming in and out
You can zoom in and out on the pathway:
- In the pathway window, do one of the following.
- In the "View" menu, choose "Zoom in" to make the pathway bigger, and "Zoom out" to make it smaller.
- On the toolbar, press the magnifying glass button with the "+" to make the pathway bigger, and the one with a "-" to make it smaller.

The Pathway Editor uses your computer's 3D drawing hardware to speed up pathway drawing and to enable several 3D layering features planned for the future. Until then, pathway tilting is interesting, but not all that useful.
