Specific Zoom Setting

[sanewcomb]

Is there a way to enter a specific zoom level in TF Pro? This comes up primarily when saving screens for print out later. I use the mouse wheel to change zoom levels and I find the steps too big sometimes.

This feature would also simplify printing out maps in their original scale/size (of printed USGS Topos).

Cheers,

Steve--

Two things that might help.

1) You can make small adjustments to the zoom by holding down CTRL and hitting either + or -.  Very useful.

2) If you choose a tileset in the tileset dropdown (upper right corner of the main window) the zoom level is reset to the native resolution of that tileset.

It would be useful to be able to set the zoom level arbitrarily.  You could at least write it down.  I think we also need the ability to arbitrarily set the size of the main TF window.

Scott,

Thanks for this tip. I had tried different toggle keys with the mouse with no luck. This will probably do the trick. Based on how the values change, I'm guessing the parameter being changed is a percent, like percent zoom, because the increments are not fixed.

Now I'll just do some printouts to find out what ratio to use to print for the screen size I use to get a 1:1 printout of the map.
