All / Center / Extents / Previous / Window / Realtime: Enter an option or a value, specify a point, or press ENTER
Displays the entire drawing in the current viewport. In a plan view, AutoCAD LT zooms to the drawing limits or current extents, whichever is greater. In a 3D view, ZOOM All is equivalent to ZOOM Extents. The display shows all objects even if the drawing extends outside the drawing limits.
 |
 |
In the illustration, LIMITS is greater than the extents of the drawing. Because it always regenerates the drawing, you cannot use ZOOM All transparently.
Changes the display by using a center point and a magnification value or height. The smaller the value, the greater the magnification. Entering a larger value decreases the magnification.
Center point: Specify
a point (1)
Magnification or Height <current>: Enter
a value or press ENTER

 |
Displays the drawing extents and results in the largest possible display of all the objects.
 |
 |
Displays the previous view. You can restore up to 10 previous views.

 |
Changes the display by a specified scale factor. The value you enter is relative to the limits of the drawing. For example, entering 2 displays objects at twice the size they would appear if you were zoomed to the limits of the drawing.
 |
 |
If you enter a value followed by x, AutoCAD LT specifies the scale relative to the current view. For example, entering .5x causes each object to be displayed at half its current size on the screen
|
|
 |
If you enter a value followed by xp, AutoCAD LT specifies the scale relative to paper space units. For example, entering .5xp displays model space at half the scale of paper space units. The following illustration shows a number of viewports arranged in paper space. The view in each viewport is scaled relative to paper space. For example, Detail 1 is scaled 1=1 relative to paper space (1xp), Detail 2 is scaled .5=1 relative to paper space (.5xp), and so on.
Displays an area specified by two opposite points defining a rectangular window.
First corner: Specify
a point (1)
Other corner: Specify a point (2)
Zooms interactively to a logical extent.
Press Esc or Enter to exit, or right-click to activate the pop-up menu.
The cursor changes to a magnifying glass with plus (+) and minus (-) signs.
The current drawing window is used to determine the zooming factor. ZOOM uses half of the window height to move to a zoom factor of 100%. Holding the pick button down at the midpoint of the window and moving vertically to the top of the window zooms in to 100%. Conversely, holding the pick button down at the midpoint of the window and moving vertically to the bottom of the window zooms out by 100%.
Note: If you place the cursor at the bottom of the window, hold down the pick button, and move vertically to the top of the window, the zoom-in factor is 200%.
When you have reached the zoom-in limit, the plus sign in the cursor disappears, indicating that you can no longer zoom in. When you have reached the zoom-out limit, the minus sign in the cursor disappears, indicating that you can no longer zoom out.
When you release the pick button, zooming stops. You can release the pick button, move the cursor to another location in the drawing, and then press the pick button again and continue to zoom the display from that location.
To exit zooming at the new position, press ENTER or ESC.
Related Commands: LIMITS sets and controls the drawing boundaries. PAN moves the drawing display in the current viewport. VIEW saves and restores named views. VPOINT sets the viewing direction for a 3D visualization of the current drawing.
