You can change the view of a drawing by zooming in to get a closer look or by zooming out to see more of the drawing. You can experiment with a variety of zoom options to determine the amount of detail you want.
Panning and scrolling are two additional ways to view specific areas of a drawing. When you work at high magnification levels or with large drawings, you may not be able to see the whole drawing. Panning and scrolling let you move the page around in the drawing window to view previously hidden areas.
You can use the Pan tool to pan around a large image and view particular areas.
You can zoom in and out while you are panning, and you can pan while you are zooming. In this way, you can avoid having to alternate between the two tools.
You can also use the Quick Pan mode to switch from any active tool to the Pan tool. This feature lets you pan without having to change tools.
If you use a mouse wheel, the wheel zooms in and zooms out by default. You can also use the mouse wheel to scroll.
By specifying default zooming and panning settings, you can zoom in quickly to detailed parts of a drawing and zoom out to the larger context.
