can anyone tell me what the ‘zoom open’ tool is?
Greetings all!
I’ve used Signlab since before computers were invented 😉 but there’s one menu entry that puzzles me (I’m talking about e6 in particular, but I think it was on the previous version as well)
What the heck is "Zoom Open" ?
It appears to me to be no different to the regular "Open" entry, but it must be there for something? I’ve asked Cadlink in the past but don’t think I ever got an answer.Any ideas?

It was in V5 as well, never knew what it did there either. In V7 though it does have a use, normally everytime you open a file you get another instance of the programme, use zoom open and the file you open replaces (onscreen only NOT overwrites) the current file displayed so only one file and one instance at a time.

Ive been here sinse Signlab 3.01 but dealt alot with Signlab 2.2 and Cadlink for DOS but i didnt know what it was for either.
It was appearatly added for an oem version that needed to Open Zoomed to the drawing every OTHER time you opened the drawing, and open Zoomed to the Signblank every other OTHER time. It was very important that it did this but i dont know why.I still remember for Cadlink for Dos under Windows 3.1
“You need to free up 596K conventional memory” for the DOS program.
And something about a “pif” filefrank at cadlink
