Is there any way to pan with the mouse in Multisim?

For some reason, I can't seem to find a way to pan with the mouse in Multisim.  Is there a pan tool, or a keyboard shortcut that allows me to use the mouse to drag the document where I want it?

Hi,

In Multisim 12, you need to click on the scroll ball of your mouse and hold it down. You will see that the arrow will change into a hand. This hand will now allow you to pan through the design. You can also zoom in and out using the scroll ball and navigate through the design.

Hope this helps.

To add to Tayyab's suggestion, you can also enable the 'Center on mouse' option when zooming in and out using the scroll wheel.   I sometimes find this useful now since in Multisim v12 the upper left corner of the workspace is not locked as it was in v11 and previous.   With this option checked, when zooming in/out, the schematic workspace will automatically snap to center of the mouse location.

Also there is a scroll option (instead of zoom) but it is really only useful for scrolling up and down (it is not horizontal scroll bar sensitive like other applications).

To enable the 'Center on mouse' option, from the menu go to:

Options -> Global preferences -> General (tab) -> Mouse wheel behavior (section)

That's good to know, but I'm working with MultiSim 11 right now.  Is there any way to do it there?

The center on mouse option isn't really what i"m looking for.  The idea is that I'm already zoomed in at the magnification I want, and I just want a quick and intuitive way to move the document without having to hunt for the scroll bars or zoom out and back in again.

Hi,

When you are at your ideal zoom, you can press control and then use the mouse scroller. This allows you to scroll up and down. It does not have support for sideways scrolling.

Hope this helps.
