full scale. Sometimes you need to view the whole
drawing, sometimes just smaller details. To assist you
in viewing different areas of the drawing, there are a
number of zoom and pan tools. You can easily
magnify small areas of your drawing to provide a
closer view or shift the view to a different or larger
part of the drawing.
