Home Menus

# View Menu

The view menu contains commands to control the visual appearance of the current document.

The settings used in new documents can be changed in the Defaults Preferences Panel

### Zoom

The Zoom menu allows you to increase or decrease the visible size of the objects. It doesn't make any changes to the objects themselves, just your view of them.

#### Zoom 100%, Zoom 75%, Zoom 50%, Zoom 25%

These commands zoom the canvas to the specified zoom factor

#### Zoom Area

This command displays a cross hair cusor which you use to drag out an area on the canvas. The canvas zoom factor will then be set so that the entire zoom area fits within the window

Increase the zoom factor by 5%

#### Zoom Out

Decrease the zoom factor by 5%
