Description

To call this window in the ProjectMaker program, in the top menu, click:

"Window" → "Minimap"

Application area

When a large number of actions appear in the workspace of the template, the minimap will allow you to quickly navigate the project in a matter of seconds. It is enough just to click on any point on the map to display the desired area of the project.

Additional tools for convenient work with the project

In addition to the minimap, there are other useful functions for easy navigation:

You can easily change the scale of the project to see the whole picture. To do this, use the hot key combination Ctrl + Mouse Wheel or Ctrl + + to zoom in and Ctrl + - to zoom out.

When there are many arrows in the template or the actions are at a great distance from each other, it complicates the navigation through the project. To prevent this from happening, use the jump to action function, which will take you to the desired action.

How it works?

  1. Move the cursor over the attachment point of the cube you want to follow.

  2. If the activity is outside the canvas, an interactive tooltip appears.

Also, this is relevant in situations when several pointers are connected to one block at once.

With the help of notes, you can comment on a certain set of actions and group them according to any color basis.

=

This allows you to logically mark groups by color, for example:
Settings - gray , registration - blue, error - red , etc.

Also, there is an Adaptive color, which paints the group with the color of the dominant actions.
