Editing Zoom Extent command

    When the "zoom extent" command is executed the dwg(s) fill the screen. I
    would like to edit this command so the dwg(s) only fill about 95% of the
    screen, leaving blank space around the edges. Anyone help.

    You cannot undefine just a portion of Zoom..but you can add
    a key-board macro function - like:

    (defun C:ZE95 ()
    (command "_.zoom" "_e")
    (command "_.zoom" "_s" "0.95xp")
    )

    Cheers

    Try this:

    Command: zoom

    Specify corner of window, enter a scale factor (nX or nXP), or [All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window] <real time>: 0.95x

    (defun C:ZE95 ()
    (command "_.zoom" "_e")
    (command "_.zoom" "_s" "0.95xp")
    )

    Wouldn't that be:

    (command "_.zoom" "_s" "0.95X")

    as XP is relative to paperspace?

    Oops,
    You are correct. Just 0.95x..silly me.
    You can also shorten the C:ZE95 to just C:ZE if desired.
