Zoom to Magnify a View A view is a specific magnification, position, and orientation of your design. The most common way to change a view is zooming. Zooming increases or decreases the magnification of the image displayed in the drawing area. There are several methods for zooming in your drawings. Zoom by Moving the Cursor You can use a pointing device to zoom in real time-that is, to zoom in or out by moving the cursor. With the Realtime option of the ZOOM command, you drag the cursor up to zoom in; drag it down to zoom out. If you use a wheel mouse, rotate the top of the wheel forward to zoom in and rotate it backward to zoom out. Zoom to a Specified Area With the Window option of the ZOOM command, you can quickly zoom in on a specific area by using the mouse to define a rectangular zoom window. The area you define is centered in the new view. zoomed out zoomed in Zoom to Display the Entire Drawing Use the Extents option of the ZOOM command to display the entire drawing. This is useful when you need to return to an overall view quickly. This option is also useful if your drawing area is blank as a result of zooming in too close on a blank area or panning too far off the drawing area. 38 | Chapter 3 Change Views

Zoom to Magnify a View

view

is a specific magnification, position, and orientation of your design. The most common way

to change a view is

zooming

. Zooming increases or decreases the magnification of the image

displayed in the drawing area.

There are several methods for zooming in your drawings.

Zoom by Moving the Cursor

You can use a pointing device to zoom in real time—that is, to zoom in or out by moving the cursor.

With the Realtime option of the ZOOM command, you drag the cursor up to zoom in; drag it down

to zoom out. If you use a wheel mouse, rotate the top of the wheel forward to zoom in and rotate it

backward to zoom out.

Zoom to a Specified Area

With the Window option of the ZOOM command, you can quickly zoom in on a specific area by

using the mouse to define a rectangular zoom window. The area you define is centered in the new

view.

Zoom to Display the Entire Drawing

Use the Extents option of the ZOOM command to display the entire drawing. This is useful when

you need to return to an overall view quickly. This option is also useful if your drawing area is blank

as a result of zooming in too close on a blank area or panning too far off the drawing area.
