# Pan and Zoom [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/Index.md) → [User Guide](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/User%20Guide/(User%20Guide).md) → [Control the Views](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/(Control%20the%20Views).md) You can pan a view to reposition it in the drawing area or zoom it to change its magnification. Using the Realtime option of the PAN function, you move your pointing device to pan dynamically.PAN does not change the scale or location of objects in your drawing; it only changes the view.  You can change the magnification of a view by zooming in and out. ZOOM does not change the absolute size of objects in the drawing. --- ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 8 (2013–2014)](../../../2013/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2015](../../../2015/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2017](../../../2017/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2018](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2018/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md) · [GstarCAD 2021](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2021/User%20Guide/Control%20the%20Views/Pan%20and%20Zoom.md)
