My C3D 2013 just started doing this last week... I first noticed that it would zoom to extents when I operated the center mouse button for panning. It was random, about 1 out of every 15 to 20 pans using the center button. Someone suggested I get a new mouse. Still did it.
But then I noticed that it's not just the panning. It will randomly zoom to extents when I type in a command. Earlier today, it did it when I did a REGEN, then again when I did a MAPWSPACE.
The other notable thing is that there is no "zoom" command anywhere in the command history when this occurs.
Besides changing the mice, I also tried rebooting and running a repair on C3D. I have Win7-64.
The problem seems to coincide with when I started using Autodesk 360. Not saying it's related, but it's fishy.
Thanks!
Double clicking center mouse button has always invoked zoom extents for me. It does that to me too when I get to panning too quickly. Not sure if there is a setting for it though?
Yes, that's why I thought it was the mouse at first. I use the double click mbutton all the time and I haven't changed my technique. But it will do this even after typing in a command.
BTW: you can disable the double center click zoom-to-extents by setting mbuttonpan=0. But that also disables the center button pan function, which I can't live without.
Just to follow up...
In my earlier post, I mentioned this problem seemed to coincide with when I started using AutoDesk 360.
I know this makes absolutely no sense, but I discontinued using AutoDesk 360 and disabled the cloud sync. I have not had the random zoom-to-extents issue since. Go figure!
