Using Map View Windows

Map View windows are overlapping windows that are displayed in the View Window area of

ProSafe NMS. This is where you can see the map topology as a diagram and easily manipulate the

map objects (add, delete, move). Note that the View Window area shows multiple windows and if

the topmost window is maximized (takes up the entire area) then any other windows will be

hidden. Use the Windows/Cascade menu to show all windows within the View Window area.

• Use the View/Map View/Root Submap menu to show the top level of the ProSafe NMS map.

• Double-click on any subnet name in the Map Selection Tree or subnet icon in a map view to

show a map view for that subnet.

• To easily move the map view, right-click anywhere on the view and drag the mouse to move

the view contents. You can also use the scroll bars, but this is not as easy.

• Use the Zoom buttons to see more or less of the

Map view.

— Use the Pan/Zoom button to zoom into a

selected rectangle (left click and drag the

rectangle).

— Use the 1:1 button to set the normal zoom mode

(icon and name visible).

— Use the Zoom +/- buttons to manually zoom.
