Zoom in Real Time
With the Realtime option, you zoom dynamically by moving your pointing
device up or down. By right-clicking, you can display a shortcut menu with
additional viewing commands.
Zoom to View All Objects in the Drawing
ZOOM Extents displays a view with the largest possible magnification that
includes all of the objects in the drawing. This view includes objects on layers
that are turned off but does not include objects on frozen layers.
ZOOM All displays either the user-defined drawing limits or the drawing
extents, whichever view is larger.
Zoom to Center a Point in the Drawing
You can move a specific point in your drawing to the center of the drawing
area.
ZOOM Center is useful for resizing an object and bringing it to the
center of the viewport. You can specify size by entering either the number of
vertical drawing units or a magnification relative to the current view. The
following example shows the effects of using
ZOOM Center to display a view
at the same size and at twice the size.
