Diagram Bird's Eye

This feature is available in Fusion/State Machine. This feature provides a Bird's eye view of the entire Fusion diagram and/or State Machine Editor and marks the current location in the Fusion/State Machine Editor panel with a blue frame. The blue frame in Diagram Bird's Eye can be moved by dragging with the mouse, and its position in Fusion/State Machine Editor panel changes accordingly, providing a bird's eye view of the entire diagram when working with the Fusion diagram/state machine editor.

The following figure shows an example of the display in the Fusion diagram (click to enlarge the figure). The same view is also available in the State Machine Editor.
