Zoom, Pan and templates - Introduction to AutoCAD 2011: 2D and 3D Design - page 82

Introduction

The use of the Zoom tools allows not only the close inspection of the most
minute areas of a drawing in the AutoCAD 2011 drawing area, but also the
accurate construction of very small details in a drawing.

The Zoom tools can be called by selection from the View/Navigate panel
or from the View drop-down menu (Fig. 4.1). However by far the easiest
and quickest method of calling the Zoom is to enter z at the command line
as follows:

Command: enter z right-click
ZOOM

Specify corner of window, enter a scale factor
(nX or nXP) or [All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/
Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real time>:

Fig. 4.1 Calling Zoom - from the Zoom/Navigate panel or from the View drop-down menu

This allows the different zooms:
Realtime - selects parts of a drawing within a window.
All - the screen reverts to the limits of the template.
