The term for changing the magnification is 'zooming'. You can zoom in to make objects appear large and to reveal more detail, or zoom out to see a larger portion of the plan. The command and menu options discussed here only work on the drawing in Plan View and Current Item Editor for selected Plan and Elevation items.
The easiest way is to use mouse shortcuts which work in both Plan and 3D Views i.e. scrolling the mouse wheel up zooms in, scrolling down zooms out and clicking on the mouse wheel will reset your view. Zoom 3D commands can be used when in 3D view.

The Zoom group of commands are located on the View tab and by right clicking anywhere on the drawing page.
