Cross probing and zooming

archive
archive over 17 years ago

I have completed my first all Allegro board (and 3 translations) but one of the engineers asked me this question today and since it bothered me while I was laying out the last board I thought I would ask. When I select a component on the schematic it highlights the component on the board OK but it zooms way up on it (component on PCB fills the screen). First, is this normal or is it something I have set wrong and second, is there a way to stop this?

It's kind of a pain to always have to zoom way out to see where you are at and to place the part. Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to User preferences>Input> No Zoom to Object. This is a very common question.
