Positioning and adjusting objects
Using zoom
To help in the positioning and adjustment of objects, Draw has a zoom function that reduces or
enlarges the screen display of the current drawing. For example, zoom in to place objects onto
your drawing with greater position; zoom out to see the complete drawing. You can control
zooming three ways: from the Status bar, Zoom dialog, or Zoom toolbar.
Note
Zooming is handled differently on Linux and Windows operating systems. A
document saved with a 100% zoom factor in Windows is displayed at a larger zoom
factor in Linux.
