Reset Drawing Size: DesignCAD resizes the objects in the drawing according to the zoom factor. Otherwise, only the apparent size of the objects are changed.

The zoom factor is relative to the current size of the drawing. If you zoom with a factor of two, the drawing appears twice as large. If you zoom with a factor of 0.25, the drawing is displayed at one-fourth its current size.
