How to Zoom in Center on Canvas

Published in Canvas navigation 2 mins read

To quickly zoom and center your view on the canvas, you can use a specific tool sequence or a simple double-click action. Both methods, based on the provided reference, achieve the effect of resetting the zoom level to 100% and positioning the view at the center of the canvas.

Methods for Centering Your Canvas View

Based on the reference, here are the two ways to center your canvas view while resetting the zoom:

1. Using the Zoom and Pan Tool

If your interface includes a "Zoom and Pan" tool or similar option, you can use it in sequence:

  1. Select Zoom and Pan. (The reference implies this is the initial action with the tool).
  2. Select it again. (According to the reference, this action fits all content to the screen).
  3. Select it again for a third time. This final selection will reset the zoom level to 100% and move to the center of the canvas.

2. Double-Clicking the Empty Canvas Space

A more direct method is available if your application supports it:

  • Double-click on the empty space of the canvas. This action is noted in the reference as achieving the same effect as the third selection of the "Zoom and Pan" tool – it will reset the zoom level to 100% and move to the center.

Both methods lead to the desired state where the canvas is viewed at its default 100% zoom level, centered in your window.
