Rescaling the view to fit the viewport

Use the auto-fit tool from the View Manipulation toolbar to quickly pan and magnify or reduce a view so that the view fills the viewport and is centered within it. When you fit a view, the orientation remains fixed, as indicated by the view triad. If the rescaled viewport is linked to other viewports, Abaqus/CAE magnifies or reduces the view in those viewports by the same factor. For more information, see Linking viewports for view manipulation.

From the View Manipulation toolbar, click the auto-fit tool to enter auto-fit mode.

Tip: You can also select ViewAuto-fit from the main menu or press F6.

If you have only one viewport, Abaqus/CAE immediately scales the view to fit the viewport without changing the orientation, centers the view within the viewport, and exits fit mode. If you have more than one viewport, select the auto-fit tool and then place the cursor over the viewport you want to rescale. Click in the viewport to auto-fit; Abaqus/CAE rescales the view and exits fit mode.

Tip: Use the cycle view manipulation tool to return to the previous view.
