SW Electrical - Detail View for 2D Cabinet Layout?

We use 2D layouts for our panels for all our electrical components but I'm having a problem of seeing all the labels of the terminal strips, circuit relays... since the entire page is the same scale.

Is there any way to have a detail view of a terminal strip or scale it differently so that it appears both in the cabinet view and then as a scaled-up detail view? Thanks!

I think you answered your own question. You can create a detail or crop view scaled up of your terminal strips.

Just to note, Solidworks Electrical is an acquired software for 2D schematics and panel layouts, which is entirely distinct and separate from Solidworks Routing Electrical which is 3D. Its capabilities and processes are very different from most other SWx.

I think that you need to make an additional page to make a new view at a different scale. I don't think that it has detail or crop view as most SWx users understand it.
