Hello,

The ViewDetail command is for 3D work so let's ignore that one for now.

 

If you already have a 2D drawing finished in Model Space (dark background) then I would suggest that you select a Layout tab ("Layout1 is default) and switch over to Paper Space (white background).  You will find a rectangle shaped object on Layout1 which is called a Viewport.  The Viewport is like a window into Model Space.

 

Double-click inside of the rectangular Viewport to activate it and perform a Zoom->Extents (double-click the mouse wheel if you like).  You should see your entire 2D set of objects fit to the ViewPort.

Now perform a Zoom->Window around the area of interest in your 2D model objects.  This area will now zoom in the Viewport.

You can then set a scale for the viewport by clicking the scale list at the bottom right of your screen.

 

Once the scale you desire is set you can double-click outside of the Viewport and AutoCAD will deactivate the viewport.

 

This is the simplest method for a detail view but you will need to learn more about Viewports to add them and place them for working drawings.

 

Hope this helps!
