How to Reverse Scroll in AutoCAD

Reverse scrolling in AutoCAD is relatively simple.

AutoCAD is computer-aided drafting software by Autodesk for architects, engineers and construction managers to create drawings. Navigating the AutoCAD interface can be challenging at times, yet it is important to be fluent with the program's functions to draft most efficiently. Reverse scrolling is a function of AutoCAD that can sometimes be confusing. By reverse scrolling, the user is ultimately able to zoom out from the drawing to see the entire draft more clearly.

Things You'll Need

• AutoCAD Software
• Three-button mouse

Instructions

Reverse Scrolling

1. Open AutoCAD from your program files or by clicking a shortcut icon on your desktop.
