The Old Zoom
Many users of AutoCAD 2006 and 2007 do not like the new dynamic zoom effect in the application. When using the zoom window or zoom extents command, the drawing area zooms in or out very smoothly. It almost looks like a guided missile going in for the kill. If you do not like this new zoom look, there is a system variable that controls this "VTENABLE".
The VTENABLE system variable is set to 3 by default. Setting this to 0 will have the zoom command act as it did in past releases.
Thanks soooooooooo much for the sysvar tip to disable the new "zoom" effect.
CAD kills me enough without having to feel like I'm falling into my drawings face first.

Given that the smooth zoom functionality is disabled if the zoom is too tight or there are too many entities on-screen for fast regen, it seems like dynamic zoom is out of the picture the moment it can help you.
I turn the thing off.
