Magnify a View (Zoom)
You can change the magnification of a view by zooming in and out. Like
zooming in and out with a camera,
ZOOM does not change the absolute size
of objects in the drawing; it changes only the magnification of the view.
When you work with minute parts in your drawing, you may need to zoom
out frequently to see an overview of your work. Use
ZOOM Previous to return
quickly to the prior view.
The options described here are the options most commonly used. For a
description of all
ZOOM options, see the Command Reference.
Zoom to Magnify a Specified Rectangular Area
You can quickly zoom on a rectangular area of your drawing by specifying
two diagonal corners of the area you are interested in.
The lower-left corner of the area you specify becomes the lower-left corner of
the new display. The shape of the zoom area you specify does not necessarily
correspond exactly to the new view, which must fit the shape of the
viewport.
