You can change the magnification of your drawing at any time by
zooming. The cursor changes to a magnifying glass (
) when a Zoom tool is active.
Zoom out to reduce the magnification so you can see more of the
drawing, or zoom in to increase the magnification so you can see a
portion of the drawing in greater detail. Changing the
magnification of the drawing affects only the way the drawing is
displayed; it has no effect on the dimensions of the entities in
your drawing.
Do one of the following:
Type zoom in the command bar.
Type Z in the command bar.
The command bar reads: In/Out/All/Center/Extents/Left/Previous/Right/Window/<Scale (nX/nXP)>:
A prompt menu opens:
Do one of the following:
Type the zoom factor, followed by X. E.g. type 2x to magnify the display 2 times; typing 0.5x changes the display to half its original size.
In paper space viewports, type the zoom factor followed by XP to define the zoom factor relative to the viewport, thus defining the scale of the viewport content.
Pick two corners of a box on the existing view in order to enlarge that area to fill the display.
