To see the styles at different zoom levels

  1. Use the Zoom Window tool to zoom in so you can see the labels and the composite lines. In the build_map1.dwg file, click View tabNavigate panelZoom drop-downWindow.
    Tip: The smaller you draw the zoom window, the larger the magnification.
  2. Zoom out to see thinner black lines for the roads.
  3. Zoom out even farther until the roads are not displayed.
  4. Save your map.

Where you are now

In the map, the roads are themed to display appropriately at different zoom levels.

At a scale of 1:10000, the roads display the composite style.
