| View menu: Aerial View |

Command line: dsviewer |
The Aerial View window is a navigation tool. It displays a view of the entire drawing in a separate window so that you can quickly locate and move to a specific area. With the Aerial View window open, you can zoom and pan without choosing a menu option or entering a command. In paper space, the Aerial View window shows only paper space entities, including viewport borders. Real-time updating of the AutoCAD window from the Aerial View window is not available in paper space.
The Aerial View window opens and displays the entire drawing. The current view is marked by a wide outline box.
Changes the magnification of the Aerial View by zooming into and out of the drawing or by displaying the entire drawing in the Aerial View window.
When the entire drawing is displayed in the Aerial View, the Zoom Out menu item and button are unavailable. When the current view nearly fills the Aerial View window, the Zoom In menu item and button are unavailable. It is possible for both of these conditions to exist at the same time, causing both to be unavailable such as after a Zoom Extents.
Increases the magnification of the drawing in the Aerial View, by zooming in by a factor of 2, centered on the current view box.
Decreases the magnification of the drawing in the Aerial View, by zooming out by a factor of 2, centered on the current view box.
Displays the entire drawing and the current view in the Aerial View window.
