Zoom using Gesture Tool

Available Gestures

Gesture	Name	Action	Description
	Scratch out	Clear Selection	Make the strokes as horizontal as possible and draw at least three strokes. If the height of the gesture increases, the number of back and forth strokes also needs to increase.
	Triangle	Zoom Out	Draw the triangle counter-clockwise in a single stroke, without lifting the pen. Make sure that the top of the triangle points upward. Draw the triangle clockwise to zoom in. In both instances, the triangle must be 'open'. A 'closed' triangle will select features instead of zoom.
	Square	Zoom In	Draw the square starting at the upper left corner. Draw the square with a single stroke, without lifting the pen.
	Arrow left	Previous Extent	Do not draw the arrow in more than two strokes. Draw the arrow either in a single stroke or in two strokes, where one stroke is the line and the other is the arrow head. Single stroke arrows written with the head as a triangle are not supported.
	Arrow right	Next Extent	Do not draw the arrow in more than two strokes. Draw the arrow either in a single stroke or in two strokes, where one stroke is the line and the other is the arrow head. Single stroke arrows written with the head as a triangle are not supported.
	Up-Down	Zoom Out	Draw this gesture in a single stroke starting with the up stroke. Draw the two strokes as close as possible.
	Down-Up	Zoom Out	Draw this gesture in a single stroke starting with the down stroke. Draw the two strokes as close as possible.
	Caret	Pan Up	Draw both sides of this gesture with equal length and in a single stroke. Make sure the angle is sharp and that the point is not rounded to a curve.
	Inverted caret	Pan Down	Draw both sides of this gesture with equal length and in a single stroke. Make sure the angle is sharp and that the point is not rounded to a curve.
	Chevron-left	Pan Left	Draw both sides of this gesture with equal length and in a single stroke. Make sure the angle is sharp and that the point is not rounded to a curve.
	Chevron-right	Pan Right	Draw both sides of this gesture with equal length and in a single stroke. Make sure the angle is sharp and that the point is not rounded to a curve.

	Double-Tap	Double-Click	Double-tapping in a feature with the appropriate model name launches the Inspector tool (Inspector extension license required).
