Zoom

The Zoom command changes the drawing display scale. The command has many options:

  • Bounds: Displays the entire drawing, even if only a part of the drawing has entities
  • Center: Lets you specify a center point for the new view and a magnification value or height
  • Dynamic: Allows you to zoom in and out in one operation
  • Fit: Displays a drawing in as large a size as possible, but ignores drawing bounds when calculating the zoom boundaries
  • Left: Lets you specify a lower left corner point for the new view and a magnification value or height
  • Previous: Allows you to undo the last zoom operation
  • Selected: Calculates the boundary of the area that contains selected entities and zooms in or out so the entities are visible on screen
  • Factor: Lets you zoom the display with a specified scale factor
  • Window: Shows a selected part of a drawing in the largest possible scale
