interupting command to zoom (transparent zoom)

• 'z<ret>

So you can do what AutoCAD calls a transparent zoom, a zoom in the middle of a command without interrupting the command. Type 'z<cr> and then type .2x<cr> to indicate that you want the new display to reduce the size of the drawing to one fifth the current size.

• plan<ret><ret> -plan view of current ucs
