Use the Zoom tool to change the viewable area in the window, and the Thin Lines tool to maintain the true thickness of lines relative to the zoom of the view.
The following Zoom options are available on the navigation bar:
- Zoom in Region - Click twice to define a rectangle. The view is zoomed to the extents of the defined rectangle.
- Zoom Out (2X) - View is zoomed so elements are 1/2 as big as they were before the view was Zoomed out.
- Zoom to Fit - View is zoomed to the maximum extents of elements visible in the view.
- Zoom All to Fit - All open views are zoomed to the maximum extents of elements visible in the view.
- Zoom Sheet Size - Based on the view scale, the view will be zoomed to match printed size on your screen.
- Previous Pan/Zoom - Zooms view to a state it was prior to current zoom.
- Next Pan/Zoom - Reverts the zoom of the view after the Previous Pan/Zoom command was used.

Typically, when you zoom in on a model in a small scale view, element lines appear much thicker than they actually are.
When you activate the Thin Lines tool, it affects all views but does not affect printing or print preview.
To activate the tool, click View tabGraphics panelThin Lines.
