Simulator 16 User Guide - PowerWorld

Zoom Ribbon Group
The Zoom Ribbon Group is on both the Onelines ribbon tab and the Draw ribbon tab. To display large
detailed power systems, Simulator’s onelines possess zooming and panning capabilities. The Zoom
Ribbon Group enables you to prescribe a zoom level either by directly specifying a zoom value or by
selecting a rectangular region of the diagram on which to focus. There is also a button to open a
dialog box from which you can select a bus on which to center the display. See Zooming and Panning
for more information.
This toolbar contains the following several buttons for zooming the presently active oneline.
Zoom Area In /Out : The top two buttons can be clicked to zoom or out on a particular area of
the oneline. When you click these buttons, the cursor will change to a cross-hair waiting for you to
choose the region to zoom into (or out of)
Zoom In / Out : The middle two buttons can be clicked to change your mouse into a zooming
tool. After choosing the button with a plus sign, each time you click on the oneline you will zoom
in on that location. When choosing the button with a negative sign you will zoom out instead.
Present Zoom Level: the number represents the present zoom level and can be manually
changed to modify the zoom level.
Show Full : Automatically zooms and pans the presently active oneline diagram so that all objects
on the oneline diagram can be seen.
Find: Provide access to the Find Object on Oneline Dialog
