Zoom panel in AutoCAD for MAC 2021

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm just starting out and learning AutoCAD through a class, my instructor created a file with zoom panels for objects in the file but I'm unable to find them at all.  My instructor is a window user and that's how she created this file with zoom panels for an assignment. Hoping someone here might be familiar with AutoCAD for MAC.

Usually commands can be execute from commandline , ribbon and toolbars . if you're asking about ZOOM command :

• There is NO ribbon in the AutoCAD products for the Apple Macintosh (Mac) platform. The ribbon in the Windows version is built upon Microsoft's .NET Framework, which is not available within the Mac operating systems.
• In the AutoCAD products for the Mac OS, there are menus and tool sets, which can both be customized to better suit individual needs.

Hi @Anonymous,

Zoom panel is not a part of AutoCAD DWG file, but it is a part of AutoCAD User Interface. AutoCAD for Mac has UI that is different from AutoCAD for Windows. And you cannot create "panels" on Mac, you can add commands, including ZOOM commands, to Tool Sets palette:

You need to be using the Windows version of AutoCAD if you want to follow your instructor's coursework: or your teacher needs to teach the mac version.

You and your instructor need to talk about it all together to come to a resolution (or a refund).
