The window's contents will be re-drawn to display the part of the shape contained in the rectangle you have drawn.
The mouse wheel may also be used to dynamically zoom the view within the Shape Window. By moving the mouse wheel, the view will move in or out.
Pan allows you to shift the display of the shape within the window upwards, downwards, to the left or right.

The cursor will change to a hand.
§ Press inside the window and hold down the mouse button

The middle mouse button may also be used to dynamically pan the view within the Shape Window. To pan the view, depress with middle mouse button within the view and drag the mouse to pan the view. When the desired view is obtain simply release the mouse button to stop panning.
Shrink allows you to decrease the size of the drawing on the screen.

The drawing will shrink down to 50% of its current size and be re-drawn. If the Shift key is held down when the Shrink command is selected the drawing will shrink by only 20%.
Size To Fit automatically resizes the drawing in the Shape window so that the section just fits inside the window in the current view. This is most useful after you have been zooming, panning or shrinking as it returns you to a viewing scale that just fits the section inside the window.
