Changing the Diagram Window Magnification Level

You can use the following Zoom options, which are available on the erwin® Data Modeler Toolbar and on the View Menu, to view a model at different magnification levels.

Zoom Out

Decreases the magnification of your model in the diagram window by an offset of 10.

Zoom In

Increases the magnification of your model in the diagram window by an offset of 10.

Zoom Normal

Resets the magnification level to 100 percent.

Fit Model

Reduces the magnification level to fit the entire model in the diagram window.

Fit Selection

Magnifies a specific area of the model to fit within the diagram window. Drag the magnifying glass cursor around the portion of the diagram window that you want to view and the appropriate Zoom level is applied to the model and fills the diagram window with the selected portion.

  • Display magnification is managed independently from print magnification. When you print the diagram window, the zoom display settings are ignored and allows you to change the scale to show more or less of the diagram window on each page.
  • The minimum screen resolution supported is 1024 x 768. If your screen resolution is less than the minimum supported, some portions of the screen will not be visible. Also, ensure that your display settings are always set to 100%. If you are working in an editor and you cannot see the Close or Cancel buttons, you can hit the Enter key to close and the Esc key to cancel.
