Scrolling the drawing window
You can scroll the drawing window within a one-square-meter region by three methods:
4
Use the Show Drawing command in the File menu to view the entire one-square-meter region
in compressed form. You can reposition the active widow, which allows you to work in
another section of the drawing. (
Note
: When you click and hold the mouse button, the
grasping hand cursor (
)
) appears.)
4
Use the scroll bars on the right and bottom sides of the drawing window (Macintosh only).
Clicking on the scroll bars or buttons moves the drawing in a horizontal or vertical direction.
4
Press the
COMMAND
key (Macintosh) or the
CTRL
key (Windows, DOS), then press down on the
left mouse button. The screen scrolls in the direction that you move the pointer.
Saving and printing
You can save a construction to a file at any time using the
Save
and
Save as...
commands in the
File
menu. If the construction has never been saved, these two commands have the same effect.
The
Save
dialog box allows you to name the construction and to choose the folder where it will be
stored. If the construction has already been saved, the
Save
command is active only if the figure
has been modified since the previous save. The new version of the construction replaces the older
one.
The
Save as...
command allows you to save the figure to another folder or name without deleting
the older version.
You can print your Cabri Geometry II constructions on a printer. Printed constructions enhance
understanding by providing accurate, printed-to-scale manipulatives. The entire one-square-meter
drawing or a specified portion can be printed in both black and white, or color.
