Auto-scroll behavior

Use the User Interface Settings > Scroll settings to scroll automatically within the design window while digitizing. This can be more convenient than using panning or scroll bars, especially when working on large designs.

Auto scroll options include:

Option

Purpose

Auto scroll

Tick checkbox to enable automatic scrolling while digitizing.

Move pointer after scroll

Tick checkbox to force pointer to move with the current cursor position after each scroll.

Response time

Enter smaller values to increase scrolling speed.

The effect of the auto-scroll setting only becomes apparent when you start to digitize. The design window automatically scrolls to follow the current cursor position. The Move Pointer option gives you the following choices:

Option

Purpose

Center

Center of the window. Use this setting for large movements.

Midway

Halfway between the original pointer position and the center of the window. Use this setting for smaller movements – e.g. when zooming into a small area of the design.

Corner

The edge of the screen. Use this setting for slow scrolling or when using the Freehand Digitizing tools.

Tip: Hold down the Alt key to temporarily deactivate auto scroll. Use the Ctrl+Shift+A key combination to toggle auto scroll on/off.
