Navigating and arranging topology charts
Navigate and arrange topology charts by performing the following actions:
- To move a chart around in the frame, click and drag the chart.
To change the size of the topology, use the Zoom slider and its controls.

To rotate the nodes around the root of the topology, move the Rotate slider.

- To more clearly see a node and its children, click a node to move adjacent nodes aside. Click any node to reset the node’s position.
- To collapse all of a node’s child nodes, click the collapse box (-) on the node. To expand all of a node’s child nodes, click the expand box (+).
To locate a node in the topology chart, type a full or partial string in the Find box and click the Find button. You can locate the next occurrence of a node with that string by clicking the Find button again.

- To display the topology in a linear left-to-right arrangement, select the Linear check box. You can return to a radial layout by clearing the check box.
- To center the root node, click the Reset
button, reset the zoom to 100%, and reset the rotation to 0˚ on the topology. - To isolate a node and make it the new root, right-click a parent node (a node with child nodes) and select Make root. All other nodes disappear, and the requested node's child nodes fan out around it.
- To realign all nodes and expand all child nodes, right-click any node and select Restore all nodes.
- To display the context-sensitive menu for the node, right-click the node.
- To show a node’s tooltip, hover your cursor over the node. By default, the tooltip displays information from a node’s parents.
