Moving Around on a Map
You use the zoom and pan commands to move around on a map. To access
these commands, right-click in the map window to display the map window
popup menu. You can also access these commands from the Edit menu.
Autodesk MapGuide Author downloads additional layer data from the server
when the zoom and pan commands display new areas or layers of the map.
You can click Stop or press ESC to interrupt a data download.
