    From your previous post:  "Under the resolution of 1366 * 768 computer screen"  

    This is the hardware specification minimum supported by Cadence.

    Your display hardware doesn't meet the minimum specification.  If this is a laptop, can you use an external LCD monitor?

    Hey brother!

    zoom in zoom out and zoom fit button doesn't work,

    this bug has nothing to do with resolution. I don't know if you have tested it

    ————————————————————————————————————

    Many people's laptops have a 14 inch resolution of 1366x768. If cadence really doesn't support this resolution, I feel very sad.

    In summary, your complaint is that Allegro doesn't support 14 year old (TV) display technology.   Your happiness cannot be attained without impacting all the other Allegro users who have to get real work done.

    You need to switch to 1024x768, an IBM standard introduced in 1990, that Cadence supports as a minimum.

    "In 2006, 1366 × 768 was the most popular resolution for liquid crystal display televisions (versus XGA for Plasma TVs flat panel displays); by 2013, even this was relegated to only being used in smaller or cheaper displays (e.g. "bedroom" LCD TVs, or low-cost, large-format plasmas), cheaper laptop and mobile tablet computers, and midrange home cinema projectors, having otherwise been overtaken by higher "full HD" resolutions such as 1920 × 1080."  -- Wikipedia.

    I don't know what you're trying to say.

    I'd like to explain that 1366x768 resolution is quite common in 14 inch (16:9) laptops

    Of course, full HD is also very common

    By the way, I bought my laptop in 2016. Why should I change it?

    Hi, I just saw your post and went ahead and updated to HF009.  So far it's working great.  I use the hotkeys for this... (type "alias" at the command line for a list of keys).  I do not have those icons in the bottom right corner of the screen so I can not check them.  (Can you post how you got them to show?)  There may be a problem with command mapping from those icons to the zoom command...
