Using Zoom and Pan
The basic display commands, ZOOM and PAN, work much like a lens
on a camera that can magnify or reduce the image of an object. Use
ZOOM to enlarge or shrink the drawing and use PAN to move the
“camera” eye from side to side, up and down, and so on.
After you select Zoom from the View menu, or type zoom on the
command line, you have several options, as shown in the following
table:
Zoom options

All Zoom out to include everything within the drawing file. This
option also regenerates the drawing.
