Displays the drawing as it will be plotted.
The preview is based on the current plot configuration, as defined by the settings in the Page Setup or Plot dialog box. It shows exactly how the drawing will look when plotted, including lineweights, fill patterns, and other plot style options.
The cursor changes to a magnifying glass with plus (+) and minus (-) signs. Dragging the cursor toward the top of the screen while holding down the pick button enlarges the preview image. Dragging toward the bottom of the screen reduces the preview image.
Two settings for your graphics system configuration will affect the preview. To access these settings, enter 3dconfig, and click Manual Tune to display the Manual Performance Tuning dialog box. For more information, see Performance Tuning.
