Thanks for the kind words! As for the zoom mode, uh, well, it came
in because someone asked for it and it seemed like a neat hack! I guess
one use of it might be if you had a slide of a floor plan of a building.
You could display the whole building or use the zoom mode to enalrge
certain room or sections of the plan for a closer look. The same applies
to peices of a mechanical drawing.. You might want to see a little more
detail. Unlike AutoCAD, the resolution does not improve when you zoom in,
however, so pushing too far gives a lot of jagged lines and sometimes a
loss of clarity. It's all dependant on the resolution of the screen driver
that was in use when the slide was made. So… You ARE better off making
indevidual slides of the views that you want. On the other hand, if
someone else gave you a slide and you can't reproduce parts of it… This
is a way to look a little closer! Does that answer the question?
