Zooming to a specific magnification

If you’d like to view a document at a specific zoom level, double-click the view area

at the bottom-left corner of Illustrator’s window (shown in Figure 1-14), type the

magnification you wish to zoom to and press Enter or Return.

Figure 1-14: Enter the exact zoom level you wish to zoom to in the field at the

You can never undo any type of magnification level change because zooming only

way. Choosing Edit ➪ Undo after zooming undoes the last change you made to the

document before you changed the magnification level, not the magnification level

change.
