Zoom 100%

The Zoom 100% button restores the screen display to its nominal value. This nominal value is an arbitrary display size, defined as 100%. All other zoom states are defined relative to this value. The zoom value is always shown in the text box at the top of the Zoom Palette.

This button is found on the Zoom Tool Palette . The only way to use this feature is to have the palette visible on the desk top. If it is not visible, use the menu item under the "Views" menu of the Main menu to show the palette.

Particular zoom values may be entered numerically (in percent, not fractions) in the text box at the top of the Zoom Palette.

Zoom 100 is a nominal value, with little relation to actual size when printed. If you export at 72 dots per inch, zoom 100 will generally correspond to the size for web graphics. Zoom Calibrate is available to match physical printed sizes.
