Use the Pan function to scan the project as a whole, usually to see elements that do not currently fit on the screen. Enable the Pan function, then move the cursor to “move” the view around in the window along with the cursor.
•With Pan Button: Click the Pan button on the bottom scrollbar of the active window. Click into the active window and pan it by moving the Hand cursor with your mouse. The whole on-screen area will move, while the current zoom level is preserved.
•If you have a three-button mouse, you can use it for panning by pressing down the middle button while moving the Hand cursor in the window.
•With Mouse Scrolling Button: If you have a mouse with a scrolling button, you can use it for panning by pressing the scrolling button continuously while moving the Hand cursor over the window.
Note: In Work Environment, you can set a different preference for using the scroll-wheel (with or without the alt button) for Zoom and Pan. See Mouse Constraints and Methods Dialog Box.
•With the numeric keypad (Windows only): Press the following keys: 4 (left), 2 (downwards), 6 (right), 8 (upwards). (Make sure Numbers Lock is off.) The up/down and left/right keys achieve the same result.
•With the Navigator Preview Palette.

When panning a large and complex project in a 2D window, you may experience fits and starts in model display. To remedy this, try switching among the choices in Options > Work Environment > Advanced Redraw Options: Model Display in 2D Navigation.
