Zoom All Displays the whole drawing to the drawing limits.
Zoom Center Uses a center point and new height to zoom.

Zoom Extents Displays the largest image possible in the drawing area.
Zoom Previous Restores the displayed view prior to the current one. Only the last 10 views can be recalled.
Zoom Scale Uses a magnification number to zoom in or out.
Zoom Window Enlarges the area that the box is defined around.
Zoom Realtime provides for an interactive zooming capability. (Scroll button on the mouse can be used for this feature)
Aerial View Zooming tool that displays the drawing in a separate window so you can quickly move to that area.
PAN Allows you to quickly move around a drawing without changing the zoom value.
Transparent Zoom Allows you to zoom without affecting the current command.
VIEWRES Sets the resolution for object generation in the current viewport. (Our setting = 2000)

Presentation Sketch A refined pictorial sketch used to convince a client of a design idea.
Alphabet of Lines various linetypes & thicknesses used to identify lines in a Technical Drawing
Borderline Heaviest Line. Identifies the outer edge of the sheet or limits.
Object Lines 1/2 as thick as border. Identifies the actual object being drawn.
Hidden Lines Identifies the parts of a drawing that cannot be seen in a particular view.
