Find in window boundary size - Inventor 2023

Hello everyone!

Does someone know if it is possible to set other size of boundary that appears using a command Find in window? To put it more clearly, if I use that command Inventor zooms to selected item but it also shows a little of surrounding, is it possible to increase its size? I work on huge models and zooming to small parts takes a lot of time, if it doesn't zoom so close to selected object, workflow would be better.

Welcome to the forum! So, you are asking if there is a way to tell Inventor to zoom in closer to the "Find in Window" search results, am I correct? Can you tell us what version of Inventor you are using?

I use Inventor Professional 2023. I mean I wish I could set size of the area around the selected objects after Find in Window command. Now it is like in the picture zoom1, it would be better like in the picture zoom2. The question is how to decrease zooming

From what I am seeing there is no way to set the amount of Zoom when using this command. It appears to default to Zoom Extents (like in AutoCAD). This might be something to add as an enhancement request in the Ideas Forum. @johnsonshiue does this sound correct?

Hi! Indeed, there isn't much Zoom scale or Zoom increment control in Inventor unfortunately.

Many thanks!

Thanks, it's a pity that there is no such possibility
