From: Mario on 27 Dec 2009 11:21 I use to F4 button, in CorelDraw, when I wish to zoom to object size. It is very usefull because I don't need to see it. Does Illustrator have something like that? If not how you zoom to object?

If not how you zoom to object? > It does not have a "zoom to object" feature ... however, there is a script you can download at the Adobe website (in the Exchange section) that's called "zoom and center" that will do what you need. You can then map it to a key shortcut. Here's the URL for the script (you may have to copy & paste - it's long) http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm? searchfield=zoom+and+center&search_exchange=17&search_category=-1 &search_license=&search_rating=&search_platform=0&search_pubdate=&num=25 &startnum=1&event=search&sticky=true&sort=0&rnav_dummy_tmpfield=&Submit= ....you may also have to register to download. -- Jim (aka LawnElf) "I finally got in touch with my feminine side ....she's suing me for sexual harassment"

(Other version may vary as to folder location) You can assign a shortcut key to this script by creating an Action and then clicking the Actions palet menu choices (top right corner) and then clicking the choice "Insert Menu Item", with the Insert Menu Item" dialog box open, select Scripts from the File Menu, then select the Zoom and Center Script. I also assign a shortcut key by creating an action that allows me to select an object on the screen and to locate it in the Layer Palet (the same as selecting Locate Object in the Layers palet) jbl |
