Change Views

You can magnify the details in your drawing for a closer view or shift the view
to a different part of the drawing. If you save views by name, you can restore
them later.

Pan or Zoom a View

You can pan to reposition the view in the drawing area or zoom to change
magnification.
With the Realtime option of PAN, you pan dynamically by moving your pointing
device. Like panning with a camera, PAN does not change the location or
magnification of objects on your drawing; it changes only the view.
You can change the magnification of a view by zooming in and out, which is
similar to zooming in and out with a camera. ZOOM does not change the
absolute size of objects in the drawing; it changes only the magnification of the
view.
When you work with minute parts in your drawing, you may need to zoom out
frequently to see an overview of your work. Use ZOOM Previous to return quickly
to the prior view.
The options described here are the options most commonly used.
