Zooming with middle mouse wheel. Change defaut

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Andrew (Andy) I. Hamill, Mar 19, 2009.

  1. 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?

    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
