Other ways to create lenses You can convert a selected object to a lens by selecting the Lens option in the SpriteEffects palette. You can create copies of lenses the same ways that you copy other objects. For example, you can use the Duplicate command or the Copy and Paste commands to create a copy of a selected lens. Magnification in lenses You can set the magnification level of a lens so objects will appear magnified (or reduced) in the lens. You can set the magnification level with or without other effects applied to a lens. Magnification affects the view through the lens to the lens viewpoint. If the default viewpoint (at the center of the lens) is used, the lens dis- plays a magnified view of objects behind the lens. If the viewpoint has been moved, the lens shows a magnified view of objects behind the viewpoint. See “Setting a lens viewpoint” on page 21.392. Setting magnification 1 Select a lens object. (To create a lens, see page 21.390.) 2 In the SpriteEffects palette, enter the magnification value in the “Mag” text box. You can set magnification from 4 to 3,200 percent. When you change the magnification value, the lens view changes, unless the Frozen option is selected in the SpriteEffects palette (see “Freezing a lens,” page 21.394). When Frozen is selected, the lens view does not change until you deselect the Frozen option.
