                        ZOOM COMMANDS

Zoom (z) is used to make the objects size appear big or small.

Zoom windowà is used to define a rectangular area. Only those objects lying within this area is displayed on the entire screen.

Zoom all and zoom extents à in both these cases the entire drawing is displayed on the screen, but zoom extents extends it to the screen limit also

ZOOM DYNAMIC  is a combination of zoom all and zoom window. As we use this command, a blue window is displayed on the screen which indicates the drawing area. Another green window is displayed, which indicates the portion we were looking at just before giving the zoom dynamic command. We have a white window which is of the size of the green window by default. It’s size can be changed by using the left click of the mouse. This white window can be moved to any portion of the drawing and using the right click of the mouse, we can view that portion of the drawing on the entire screen

ZOOM OUT = 5x (half)

ZOOM IN = 2x (double)

ZOOM SCALE = nx, where the value of n < 1, to make the drawing size appear smaller and the value of n>1 to make the drawing size appear bigger

ZOOM OBJECT à in this case we select the objects which are to be zoomed to the entire screen

PAN (P) à is used to move the screen as required.

ZOOM REALTIME we use the left click of the mouse to drag the cursor upwards or downwards in order to make the drawing size appear bigger of smaller.

ZOOM PREVIOUS à it is used to undo the zoom command.
