The standard map tools appear in a toolbar on the left side of all three map window types. The standard map tools change both the appearance and the functionality of the mouse cursor. There is a second set of tools, the schematic map window tools, that enable the user to view and create the study elements from the schematic map window. These tools are described in the Schematic Map Tools section.
The Pointer/Selector tool is available on all HEC-WAT map windows. With this tool selected, the user can right-click on model graphical elements from the schematic displayed in the Simulation Map Window and view results or edit model elements from the shortcut menu. When a New Map Window, an Alternative Map Window, or a Schematic Map Window is active, the user can use this tool to right-click on the map window and edit the properties of the map window from the shortcut menu, zoom to the full extents, duplicate the map window, and detach the map window.
The Zoom tool is available on all HEC-WAT map windows and allows the user to view data closely. To zoom out, click the right mouse button (right-click). The zoom out is done by a factor of two and positions the clicked location at the center of the display area.
Zoom with Mouse
In HEC-WAT map windows, the mouse wheel can be used to zoom in and out.
The Pan tool is available on all HEC-WAT map windows and allows the user to move to different areas of a map window while zoomed in.
