How Do You Zoom in on IBM DOORS?

To zoom in or out within IBM DOORS, specifically when you are performing In-Place Editing, you can use a simple keyboard and mouse shortcut.

When you are actively editing text or other content directly within a DOORS module view (this is known as In-Place Editing), you can adjust the zoom level using the following method:

Zooming During In-Place Editing

IBM DOORS allows for convenient zooming while you are focused on editing content directly within the module view. This can be particularly helpful for adjusting text size or viewing detail without leaving the editing mode.

Here's the specific action based on the provided information:

• Hold "ctrl" and use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

This action modifies the display zoom level specifically within the context of the In-Place Editing area, affecting how the content appears while you are working on it.

Practical Steps for Zooming

Here’s how to apply this method:

1. Enter In-Place Editing mode by double-clicking or selecting an object attribute to edit directly in the module view.
2. Once the editing cursor is active, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
3. While holding Ctrl, scroll your mouse wheel upwards to zoom in.
4. To zoom out, scroll your mouse wheel downwards while still holding Ctrl.

This technique provides a quick way to adjust your view for better readability or to see more content within the editing window without affecting the overall DOORS interface zoom.

Understanding this specific zoom function enhances efficiency when performing detailed edits within IBM DOORS modules.
