The Zoom-Out command will reduce the size of entities in the current view by the current Zoom Out factor about the center point. The default Zoom Out Factor on the System Settings - Defaults Tab is 0.8 (the reciprocal of the default Zoom In factor). Using this value, entities will appear 80% smaller than their previous size and the view will contain more area. You can use the Zoom-Out command repeatedly to move away from the center point of the view until you arrive at the desired focus.
The Zoom-Out command is transparent - it may be selected within another command without canceling the current command.
- From the View menu choose Zoom-Out
- Keyboard: You may Zoom-Out by using the End key on your keyboard.
- Mouse: You may Zoom Out by scrolling your mouse wheel down. Each wheel click (scroll increment) reduces the size of the current view contents by the Zoom Out factor.
