Magnifying and reducing the view
The zoom-in and zoom-out tools and
commands magnify or reduce the dis-
play of any area in the document up to
16 times. Zooming in and out changes
only the magnification at which you see
the document, not its actual size. (For
more on resizing objects, see Scaling.)
Two other commands provide shortcuts
to often-used magnification levels. The
Actual Size command lets you display a
document at 100% magnification, and
centers the document in the active win-
dow. The Fit In Window command cen-
ters and scales the artboard so that it
fits within the active window.
The current magnification level is
displayed at the top of the document
window.
To zoom in:
Choose one of the following options:
• Select the zoom tool (the pointer
becomes a magnifying glass with a plus
sign in its center) and click at the center
of the area you want to magnify.
