Magnifying Glass Access

The Tools menu and the Select flyout menu on the Standard toolbar include the Magnified Selection tool, which displays the magnifying glass tool.

The tool is also available on the context toolbar that appears when you right-click an empty space in the graphics area.

The magnifying glass, which you can also display using the G shortcut key, gives a magnified view of a section of a model so you can inspect the model and make selections without changing the overall view.

You can add the Magnified Selection tool to other toolbars, such as the Heads-Up View toolbar, by clicking Tools > Customize . On the Commands tab, in Categories, select Standard and drag the button to the toolbar where you want to add it.
