These are the functions to make both Google Earth and the Map Explorer quickly zoom into the area of your project:

Google Earth

Plex.Earth tools work in conjunction with Google Earth to import imagery, surface information or specific data points. Most of the time Plex.Earth will automatically control the Google Earth window to zoom into the areas it uses for its functions. However sometimes you might wish to do it manually. Use:

	Zoom Area	when you want Google Earth to zone into an area you specify in AutoCAD.
	Zoom Position	when you want Google Earth to center around a specific point you select in AutoCAD.
	Synchronize Autocad	to have AutoCAD zone into the region currently displayed in Google Earth.
	Synchronize Google Earth	to have Google Earth zone into the region currently displayed in your AutoCAD drawing.
