Zooming to a Specific Location or US Street Address (Zoom Goto Command)

You can use the Zoom Goto dialog box to zoom to a location, such as an airport, or to a US street address or ZIP code.

To display the Zoom Goto dialog box, click the ZOOM GOTO button on the toolbar, or right-click in the map and choose ZOOM > GOTO from the popup menu.



You can now do one of the following tasks.

To zoom to a location:

  1. Click the Location tab, and then select a category from the Category list.
  2. Type a location name to use as the center of the map, type the map width to display, and then click OK.

    You can enter just a portion of the name you are looking for. Autodesk MapGuide will return a list of places that contain the text you entered. For example, to find San Francisco, you could type "San" to receive a list of all places that begin with "San," and then choose San Francisco from the list.

    Note: You specify the width in the current display units.

  3. If the zoom location has an access key assigned to it, enter the access key. You will need to contact the author of the map if you do not know the access key.

To zoom to a street address or ZIP code:

  1. Click the US Street Address tab (not available on all maps), and then enter a complete US street address (address, city, and state) or a ZIP code.



  2. Type the map width to display, and then click OK.

    Note: You specify the width in the current display units.
