Zoom Command Options
Zoom Window
ZOOM, Z; Pick 2 points to define the window in the drawing area
To use the Zoom Window option, use any method listed above to start the command, click
in the drawing to specify the first corner of the window (1), and then click to specify the
second corner of the window (2). As a result, the drawing view is magnified and fills the
drawing space with the area defined by the zoom window.
Zoom Extents
Use the Zoom Extents option to zoom to the extents of the drawing, that is, the area of the
drawing in which objects are placed. When you zoom to the drawing extents, you magnify
the drawing view so that all geometry in the current space (model space or paper space) is
visible.
