Zooming with middle mouse wheel. Change defaut

Mar 19, 2009 4 Replies

When I use the middle mouse wheel zoom feature, by default Solid Works zooms in when I scroll the wheel backwards and zooms out when I scroll the wheel forwards. For me this is counter intuitive as well as the exact opposite of most other windows programs. Does anyone know a way to flip this so that when I scroll the wheel forwards it will zoom in and visa versa?

That are? Coming from Acad ( a long time ago), I had the same feeling. I am now used to it, and i find the way it is more logical than in Acad.

To answer the question, I do not think that there is a choice for that in the options. Maybe a workaround?

OOPS.. Can't find it in SW06. How long has it been there?

If I remember right a check box was added in SW2007. Tools->Options->System Options->View Rotation/Zoom (was in SW2006 "View Rotation") On this page is a check box "Reverse mouse wheel zoom direction
