In-Depth Information
Zoom Extents
is used to zoom to all objects.
Zoom Window
is used to specify a rectangle. By specifying two opposite
corners, whatever is inside the rectangle will look larger.
Zoom Previous
is used to restore the previous view, up to the last ten
views.
Zoom Realtime
is done by clicking the left button on the mouse
and holding it. If you move forward, you are zooming in; if you move
backward, you are zooming out.
Zoom Dynamic
is used with the
Zoom Window
fi rst. You will see the
whole drawing and your current place (shown as a dotted green line), go
to the new location, and press [Enter].
Zoom Scale
is used to input a scale factor. If you type in a number less
than 1, you will see the drawing smaller. If the scale factor you type in is
greater than 1, you will see the drawing larger. If you put the letter x after
the number (e.g., 2x) the scale will be relative to the current view.
Zoom Center
is used to specify a new center point for the zooming,
along with a new height.
Zoom Object
is used to zoom to certain selected objects. AutoCAD will
ask you to select objects and the selected objects will fi ll the screen.
Zoom In
is not really a zoom option, but rather a programmed option
equal to the
Zoom Scale
with a scale factor of 2x.
Zoom Out
is just like
Zoom In
, but with a zoom factor of 0.5x.
