I’ve been using AutoCAD for more than a decade now,  starting from Rel. 13 up to now AutoCAD 2008, Since the time I’m using AutoCAD I haven’t encountered these animation “thing” whenever I am using zoom command on AutoCAD 2008.  At first I thought I should be impressed with it but I felt otherwise,  in short I always got annoyed with it. Other user might agreed with me with these as some of my colleagues do when they encountered it by themselves.

Well we can always have this options whether we want to use it or not. By key-ing in the command vtoptions or View Transition options in your command prompt. Then uncheck the box that says Enable animation for pan & zoom or uncheck all boxes. But if happen that you’re impressed with these animation well you can just check all boxes then adjust the transition speed at the pace you prefer.
