If you set two consecutive pages to Zoom Full Page, On-Screen Takeoff prompts you to apply that same Zoom setting to the remaining pages in the project.

If you choose "No" (the default), On-Screen Takeoff will not prompt you again for this bid during this session of the program. If you close the program and then set two consecutive pages to Full Page Zoom, OST prompts you again to apply that Zoom to the remaining pages.
