Zoom Window Tool

Use the Zoom Window Tool to zoom in on a specific portion of your model. Activate the Zoom Window Tool from either the Camera Toolbar or the Camera menu.

Zooming in on a Portion of Your Model

The Zoom Window Tool allows you to draw a rectangular zoom window around a portion of your model. The Zoom Window Tool will then zoom in on the content within the zoom window. To zoom in on a portion of your model:

  1. Select the Zoom Window Tool. The cursor changes to a magnifying glass with small square.
  2. Click and hold a short distance away from the entities you want to appear in the zoom window. This is the zoom window starting point.
  3. Move cursor diagonally.
  4. Release the mouse button when all of the entities are enclosed within the zoom window. These entities will fill the screen.
