Pan

Description of the tool

This tool allows you to move the map view in any direction while keeping the same map scale. 

How to use the tool

Prerequisite:

None

Steps:

1. Press the Pan tool.
   
   
   
2. Place the mouse cursor on the map at a location.
    
3. Hold the left mouse button down and the cursor will change from a pointer to a four-directional arrow.
    
4. Move the map in any direction (left, right, up, down or diagonally).
    

5. When the map is at the required location, release the mouse cursor and the map will be redrawn at the new location.
   
   

   TIP:

   In addition to using the Pan tool, you can pan the map at any time by holding down the shift key and moving the mouse. This is useful when you're in the middle of an operation (e.g. drawing a polygon for a selection) as you can move the map and not lose the drawing you have made so far. This function is available for versions of Weave from 2.5.17 onward.
