The artboard or image centered with navagation.

Hello, everyone I have a question. When i use the navigation to make the image larger, How do I make the image centered while it's getting bigger?

Are you zooming in or are you scaling your objects? Exactly what are you doing?

sooming in but it is scrolling as I watch the scroll bars move.

@tony_1968 I use the keyboard shortcut. Select your object, and hold the Command (Mac) or Control (PC) and the + key. It should zoom in while centering the selected object in the view.

You could also hold the Command (Mac) or Control (PC) and the space bar and you would get the zoom tool, and this should zoom in while keeping the selected area centered or any other spot for that matter. 

There might be other ways, but these are the two I use all the time

Tony,

"When i use the navigation to make the image larger,"

As I (mis)understand it, you use the Navigator palette, clicking the Zoom in (and Out) and/or inserting the (next) desired zoom level (going up/down).

If that is the case, you may like to centre your artwork on the Artboard, then DoubleClick the Hand Tool/View > Fit Artboard In Window thereby centring the artwork in view, then use the navigation in whichever way and enjoy its keeping your artwork centred.
