or off.
Note: If you want to move the objects and the wipeout area, you must select both and move them at the same time. Do not move them separately.
The Zoom command is used to move closer to or farther away from an object. This is called Zooming In and Out.
Note: The Zoom commands are located on the Navigate Panel of the View Tab and are off by default. Select the View Tab then right click on any panel and select Show Panels, activate the Navigate Panel.
1. Select the Zoom command by using the following:
Ribbon = View Tab / Navigate Panel
2. Select the
The following are descriptions of the most commonly used zoom tools.
| Extents: | Displays all objects in the drawing file, even objects outside of the drawing limits. |
| Window: | Window: Zoom in on an area by specifying a window around the area. |
| Previous: | Returns the screen to the previous display. (Limited to 10.) |
| Realtime: | Interactive Zoom. You can zoom in or out by moving the cursor vertically up or down while pressing the left mouse button. To stop, press the <Esc> key. |
| All: | All: Zooms to drawing limits or Extents, whichever is greater. |
In or Out = Zooms in 2X or out 2X.
You may also select the Zoom commands using one of the following:
Right click and select Zoom from the Shortcut Menu.
Keyboard = Z <Enter>. Select from the options listed.
How to use Zoom / Window
1. Select Zoom / Window (refer to previous page).
2. Create a Window around the objects you want to enlarge.
(Creating a “Window” is a similar process to drawing a rectangle. It requires a first corner and then a diagonal corner.)
How to return to Original View
1. Type: Z <Enter> A <Enter> (this is a shortcut for Zoom / All).
Notes:
Very important:
Before I discuss Model and Layout I need you to confirm Model and Layout Tabs are displayed.
This will just take a minute.
1. Type: options <Enter>
2. Select the Display Tab.
3. Check and un-check boxes as shown.
4. Select the OK button
5. The lower left corner of the drawing area should display the 3 Tabs, Model, Layout1 and Layout2 and a few tools should be displayed in the lower right corner.
Read this information carefully. It is very important that you understand this concept. More information on the following pages.
AutoCAD provides two drawing spaces, Model and Layout. You move into one or the other by selecting either the Model or Layout Tabs, located at the bottom left of the drawing area. (If you do not have these displayed, follow the instructions on the previous page.)
Model Tab (Also called Model Space.)
When you select the Model Tab you enter Model Space.
Model Space is where you create and modify your drawings.
Layout Tabs (Also called Paper Space.)
When you select a Layout Tab you enter Paper Space.
The primary function of Paper Space is to prepare the drawing for plotting.
When you select the Layout Tab for the first time, the “Page Setup Manager” dialog box will appear. The Page Setup Manager allows you to specify the printing device and paper size to use.
(More information on this in “How to…”)
When you select a Layout Tab, Model Space will seem to have disappeared, and a blank sheet of paper is displayed on the screen. This sheet of paper is basically in front of the Model Space. (Refer to the illustration on the next page.)
To see the drawing in Model Space, while still in Paper Space, you must cut a hole in this sheet. This hole is called a “Viewport”. (Refer to “How to…)
Try to think of this as a picture frame (Paper Space) in front of a photograph (Model Space).
I know you are probably wondering why you should bother with Layouts. A Layout (Paper Space) is a great method to manipulate your drawing for plotting.
Notice the drawing below with multiple viewports.
Each viewport is a hole in the paper. You can see through each viewport (hole) to Model Space.
