Locking a Mimic

You can use the Lock tool to determine whether a Mimic retains its original dimensions - which correspond to A4 paper (landscape) - when you resize the ViewX/Webx window. This feature is useful for setting a Mimic so that it is shown in its entirety.

When you activate the Lock tool, the Mimic makes maximum use of the ViewX or WebX Document Display Area. This means that the level of magnification is changed automatically so that the entire Mimic is visible.

When you de-activate the Lock tool, ViewX or WebX disregards the Mimic' s original dimensions. The Mimic remains at its defined magnification and size—parts of the Mimic may be out of view when you resize the ViewX/WebX window (although you will be able to scroll to any area of the Mimic).
