Unlike the selection rectangle, which may have any proportions, the
zoom rectangle keeps the proportions of the map display area to indicate
the complete area that will be visible when you release the mouse
button. This may mean that when you are dragging the zoom rectangle
the pointer is not at the corner of the rectangle:

Navigating Between Submaps and the Top-Level Map
When you are viewing the devices in your network grouped by subnet,
the map display can only show the top-level map or any one submap at
any given time. This means that in order to view the contents of a
submap that is not currently being viewed it is necessary to navigate to it.
The simplest method of navigating between different submaps or
between submaps and the top level map is via the use of two controls:
■
Go Up — Navigates up one level in the hierarchy of submaps to show
the current submap’s parent. If you are currently viewing a subnet
then this will navigate up to the top-level map. If you are currently
viewing a device group then this will navigate up to either another
device group or a subnet, depending upon the hierarchy.
The Go Up action can be performed either by selecting View
> Go
Up ,
or by clicking the Go Up button in the toolbar.
