The following instructions assume that you are using a 3-button mouse.
1 . Invoke Zoom Out to Region using any one (1) of the following methods:
Method 1 : Click the Zoom Out to Region icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Navigate -- Navigation Mode ' ( Modeling ) or ' Navigate -- Navigation Mode ' ( Drawing Editor ) and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).
Method 2 : If the " Modeling layout style " or " Drawing Editor layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Navigate > Zoom Out to Region .
Method 3, 4 or 5 : Zoom Out to Region can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface . The default keyboard shortcut is z x .
Method 6 : With Navigation Mode or Nav Once mouse bindings active, hold down the Shift key and left mouse button ( Zoom Out ) and drag your mouse pointer (

Alternative 1 : Drag your mouse pointer diagonally across the screen while holding down the left mouse button ( Locate ) to form an area box around the rectangular area that you want the rest of the your current display to go into. Release the mouse button and go on to step 3.
Alternative 2 : Right-click ( Return ) to end the Zoom Out to Region operation without changing the display. Do not continue.
3 . The view shown on your computer screen in step 1 shrinks into the area box you drew in step 2, thus causing materials or objects to appear more distant. As a result, you view may now include more materials than those which could be seen before step 1.
