Here are a few shortcuts for zooming, panning, and spinning any sketch, drawing, or otherwise in Pro/E. They all involve depressing the control key on the keyboard while pressing one of the mouse buttons and moving the mouse.

  • To zoom in/out in window, depress the control key and the left mouse button. Moving the mouse left and right will zoom the window in and out. Experiment to see which direction does what.
  • To spin the view, press control and the middle mouse button. it functions exactly like the spin command in the View->Orientation menu in Pro/E. If you do spin a sketch before a part is made, you can get the sketch back to normal by clicking on "Sketch View" in the main "Sketcher" menu.
  • To pan the window, press control and the right mouse button. Moving the mouse right moves the contents of the window right, left goes left, and so on.
