for Concept mode only, choose this menu item to set your preferences for:

Viewing Area

Set the extent of the visible viewing area with the North-South and East West fields. A zoomed-in effect is achieved with small extents and a zoomed-out effect is produced for large extents. The program automatically adjusts your extents to fit the aspect ratio of the monitor.

Snap Increment

Sizer will convert mouse input to the nearest value of the snap increment. For example, a snap increment of 50 cm will only produce gridlines at 50 cm intervals when you click in the work area.
