Although
the Map provides a manual Zoom bar and scroll arrows, the easiest way to
move and zoom the Map is by using the mouse buttons.
|
Move
Map
|
|
To move the Map, hold down
the right mouse button. This will "grab" the
Map to enable you to reposition it. |
|
Zoom
In
|
|
Hold
down the left mouse button
on the map (somewhere other than a WP) and the Map will automatically Zoom
in. The speed is adjustable in Preferences. |
|
Zoom
out
|
|
Double-click
the left mouse button will Zoom out in steps. It can also be linked to
Fit To Battlefield in Preferences. |
There
are also different "modes" for selecting FGs on the Map:
Select
FG
(to
Move)
|
|
To move a FG (or one of
its WPs), left click on it and drag it to
its new location. Clicking on it will also make it the Current FG. To drag
a FG's waypoints along with it, hold down the CTRL
key while dragging it. |
| Select
FG (without moving) |
|
If
you want to select a FG as the Current FG, but don't want to move its position,
right-click
on it. |
| Multi-select |
|
To select multiple FGs on
the Map, hold down the SHIFT key or the CTRL
key while selecting it. This can be done when you right-click to select
without moving, or left-click to move selections. |
Basically,
holding the CTRL key
down while dragging means "drag WPs as well start position", and holding
the SHIFT
key down means "drag all selected FGs." Therefore, holding both keys
down while dragging will drag all selected FGs and their WPs.
The
following demonstrates the different modes of dragging multiple FGs:
It's a good idea to play
around with these functions to get used to them before using it in mission
building. |
