To apply magnification

1. Create or select the object that will become a magnifying object.

2. Move the object to the area you want to magnify.

3. On the Effects menu, click Magnify. The Magnify dialog box appears.

4. Click the Enable checkbox to specify that you want to make the currently selected object a magnifying object.

5. Set the magnification amount as desired. A setting of less than 1.0 shrinks the viewed area instead of magnifying it.

6. Click the Apply button to update the magnifying object with the area being magnified.

7. Move and resize the shape as required to show the desired viewing point within it.

8. When you are satisfied with the viewing point, click the Freeze Viewpoint checkbox, and click Apply to lock the view. After freezing the viewing point, you can move the magnifying object and change its shape, size, and magnification level without changing the viewing point.

To update the viewing point, clear the Freeze viewpoint checkbox, click Apply, and move the magnifying object to the new desired position. You can add the Magnify button if you want: right-click a toolbar, click Customize, click Effects, then drag the button to any toolbar.
