Panning

What is panning?

The pan function lets you view wide diagrams (panoramas) on a narrower screen for example if you have a long production line represented on a single diagram in IGSS, but only one screen to work with, the system integrator would then use the pan function to allow you to select which section of the diagram you want to view.

How to open the Pan window

Normally the pan window will automatically be displayed when a diagram, wider than the available screen(s), is opened. This means that if, for example the system integrator has created a diagram which fits on 2 screens, the second screen must then be disabled in Windows before IGSS will use the pan function.

The Pan window can also be manually opened (still only available when the above condition is met):

  1. Select the View tab.

  2. Click Show Pan Control.

 

Right-click menu
