Scaling changes the size of objects, while the zoom changes the visibility of the project and the object remain of same size.

Hi
this is azeem,
Scale is the ratio of actual dimension to the representing dimension, a scale dimension is used when we show detail view of a drawing view or when we want to show a large object in a drawing sheet like a large building whereas zoom Is just used to enlarge area of the screen for detail vision.

Hi

Actually scale is a way of representation of object small size to large size like 1:2 or 1:5., where zoom is just used to fit the screen .
