View source for Browsing a Diagram with Overview Pane

{{Parent|Customizing Diagram Appearance Procedures Index| Customizing Diagram Appearance and Viewing Diagrams}}
Large real-world models do not fit within the '''Diagram View'''. To scroll the view of such diagrams, you can use the '''Overview''' pane.

===To scroll the diagram using the Overview pane===

# In the '''Diagram View''', open a diagram. Click the '''Overview''' button in the lower-right corner of the '''Diagram View'''. The '''Overview''' pane opens and shows a thumbnail image of the current diagram. 
:: The highlighted rectangle within the '''Overview''' pane contains that portion of the model that is currently displayed on the diagram.
<ol start="2"><li> Resize the '''Overview''' pane by clicking the upper-left corner of the pane and dragging it.</li>
<li> Drag the floating highlighted rectangle within the '''Overview''' pane to dynamically scroll to the portion of the diagram you want to view.</li>
<li> Close the '''Overview''' pane by clicking the diagram anywhere outside of the '''Overview''' pane.</li>
</ol>


: '''Tip:''' The '''Overview''' pane has a sizing grip in the upper-left corner. Drag the sizing grip to resize the '''Overview''' pane. As you resize the pane, its contents are scaled to best fit the new pane size. Resizing is useful when the model is large enough that you cannot read the text on the miniature representation in the '''Overview''' pane.
