Tip for Week 2/3/03


 

This is one of those "I didn't know that" tips about PostalCAD. There are five hidden shortcuts for zoom options available at the command line in PostalCAD. Here's the magic list:

ZA - Issues the zoom command and the ALL option in one step.

ZD - Issues the zoom command and the DYNAMIC option in one step.

ZE - Issues the zoom command and the EXTENTS option in one step.

ZP - Issues the zoom command and the PREVIOUS option in one step.

ZR - Issues the zoom command and the REALTIME option in one step.

These shortcuts make the commonly used zoom options twice as fast or half the amount of work depending on how you want to look at it.
