Hi,
I've created a window using ignition designer where I've got 8 conveyors which need to be visible all at once.
Is there a way to make this screen zoomable while using Launcher?
Not at the moment, but it's a requested feature you can go vote on:
In the meantime, consider creating a second window where the image is larger and swapping between the two windows when clicking a zoom button or something similar. If you set it up right with a template it'll be easier to update in the future.
The best alternative to in-client zooming is to create some scripting that will simulate zooming. There several approaches you could take. The simplest solution would be to create clickable areas on your 8 conveyers, then on a new vision window, have individual conveyer but larger. You could beautify this by creating a zoom animation and remove opening a new window, but this would be much more complex to do.

These conveyor systems all look the same. My inclination is to make one horizontal conveyor in a template, and then, use a template repeater or a template canvas to render each one. This way, you could line the left edge of the repeater up with the left conveyor, and use the repeater's scroll pane to move up and down through the horizontal conveyors.
This would allow you to depict the conveyors at a normal size, and navigate them in an intuitive way that doesn't require zooming and panning.
