Question

How to add Zoom 1000% with Command "-" or command "+"

Can either add or explain how to change the Screen zoom function to include 1000%. It currently jumps from 800% to 1200%. As I frequently work in 1/10th scale I frequently need to check image quality at 1000% which would be actual print size.  I work on large mural images.

 

LMK

thank you

You may use this script, incorporate it in an action and assign a shortcut to the action.

 

// Zoom level: 1000 %
if (app.activeDocument) {
    app.activeDocument.views[0].zoom = 10;
}

You can't have that.

But you could create a custom view in 1000% - only: it would be fixed to a certain portion of the document, so that is not a good solution either. 

 

Maybe ask for it in https://illustrator.uservoice.com

I posted it to user voice and they moved it over here.  I would like them to add it to the app not ask the forums for a hack around. although I appreciate the hack arounds in the interum. 😉

 

Thank you for the feedback!!

How is this not a uservoice idea? So much artwork is setup at 10% so to view it to scale, you need to zoom to 1000%. It's beyond me why it skips from 800% to 1200% 


I too dont want a hack, or to have to type in 1000% every time.

 

+1 to add this 1000% zoom to the default scroll wheel zoom please.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Sorry, Illustrator.

 

I know how to type in the scale in the lower left corner of the window. I want to add the 1000% to the default scalings.

 

TIA
