Zoom Region magnifies a rectangular area you drag within a viewport. This control is available only when the active viewport
is an orthographic, Perspective or User-Axonometric view. It is not available for Camera viewports.
Zoom Region stays active until you right-click or select another command.
Procedures
To zoom a region:
- Activate an orthographic or perspective viewport.
- Click (Zoom Region) or press Ctrl+W.
When you zoom a region in a perspective viewport, select Zoom Region from the Field of View flyout.
- Drag a rectangular region in any viewport displaying a non-camera view.
When you release, the region is magnified to fill the viewport.
NoteWhen using the Zoom Region in Perspective view, the zoom rectangle is at a fixed distance from the camera. For this reason,
if you draw the rectangle large enough, you can zoom out from the scene.
