Nesting commands in Virtuoso Layout Suite L User Guide

This is a description about nesting commands in Virtuoso Layout Suite L User Guide:

You can pause before completing one command to perform a second command. This is called nesting a command. For example, if you move an object and then zoom out, the zoom command would be nested, allowing you to use another command such as moving another object.


I don't understand how it works. Could you explain more? In this case, we are moving an object then zoom out and the zoom command is nested.

How can I move another object without escape the current command? I tried the example above but I couldn't move another object as the description.

What does it mean to set the nest limit to 2 or 3?

Thank you.

    Thanks a lot. I realized that I used it a lot before with move and zoom in commands but I didn't  know what was it called.

    Another question, it may sound stupid but could you explain what is Pan? I tried to consult it in dictionary and tried the command but couldn't see how it is useful.

    Thank you.
