    Sorry - I didn't read the manual for leZoomToPoint - I was just taking your code as a starting point; I shouldn't have assumed it was correct.

    Now that you've explained your requirement - which would have been the best thing to do in the first place, as it is now obvious what you're trying to do.

    I have some SKILL code which does what you want - or similar - albeit in a rather different way. I'll post it later when I've got a proper connection.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Here's the code. Define a bindkey which calls abCopyWinView() . When you press the bindkey it will prompt you to pick two windows (source and destination) - or just destination if you have infix on - and will copy the zoom position from one window to the other.

    Regards,

    (procedure (abCopyWinViewCB win done points)
  (let (bbox)
       (setq win (hiGetCurrentWindow))
       (when (and done (windowp win) (windowp abCopyWinViewFrom))
             (setq bbox (hiGetViewBBox abCopyWinViewFrom))
             (hiZoomIn win bbox))))
