Zoom level of 67%?

[enewbold]

I would like to have STANDARD zoom levels of 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, 25%, etc. What’s with the dumb 67%???

[Jules]

You can Zoom in whatever increments you like.

Hold down the CTRL key and scroll with the mouse wheel.

Heh - 67% is where I keep mine 90% of the time, it allows me to see the full bed plus enough of the outside that I can grab my stored pieces

I’m going to demo in Illustrator again, but the same things will be done in whatever program you choose to use for your designs. If you have questions about specifics for other kinds of drawing and modeling software, …

Got it. Thanks very much!

Hi Jules. Thanks for all of your information, but have you identified a way of deleting designs from your library yet. I’ve been using Coreldraw and conventional lasers ULS M-300) for 20 years now, and as you can imagine, my design library is rather large. If I can’t delete/remove test cuts from the Glowforge library, it’s going to get very full, very quickly. Thank, again,

She responded in the post you made asking this question.

[Jules]

Yeah, I think I posted that on your other ticket about deleting designs. (You can delete them from the Dashboard).

Also, because you asked - 66.666666% (or 2/3) gets rounded to 67%

[ovm.steve]
