Hi Autodesk,
When using the mousewheel to scroll in the Vault explorer, the icons scroll horizontal, instead of vertical as it do in the windows explorer.
Using the up and down arrow on the keyboard also moves the focus horizontally.
It is very annoying and confusing. I have experienced this "feature" in both 2014 & 2015 version, so it is probably legacy?
Brgds,
Chris

I have to say as well that this "feature" drives me absolutely nuts. Not only is it completely the opposite of how every single other "explorer-style" program works, but it is confusing as well. You scroll down and expect to see a fresh line of files to look through, but instead is just shuffles everything to the side and you have to find your place again.
PLEASE change this. Or at the very least give us the option to alter the direction.
Which area specifically do you see this happening in, the folder list or the files area to the right? When you say Vault Explorer I assume you are referring to the Vault Client?
I've never experienced this, everywhere in Vault when I use the middle wheel scroll it will scroll vertically as expected.
Do you have any mouse software installed like Logitech stuff overiding what the mouse buttons do by default? They have historically caused some grief within CAD applications.
Ah OK, gotcha.
Yea the only view style there which behaves properly is to set it to the 'Details' view, that scrolls the expected way. The others are a bit funky.
I'll have a dig around but I reckon it's not gonna be possible to change that.
detail view scrolls fine, but sometimes it's nice to find things by thumbnail.....especially if your numbering systems is non-significant. It just seems ridiculous that something like this was thought of as a good idea.......or at the very least got overlooked.
It's 2017 and this should be fixed.
Please find me one (1) person that likes this scrolling and ill change my mind.
Please fix so that the thumbnail views scroll horizontally.
Thanks everyone for bringing this to our attention. I will get this logged with the Development team to take a look.
Thanks.
Thank you, I just realized, i made the mistake of saying horizontally. Should be scrolled Vertically. This could be the reason why it was designed to scroll horizontally in the first place, where users kept accidentally saying horizontally.
we are now using 2018 version suite and still same problem
Is there a workaround that we can do?
Hello to everyone @DeerSpotter @Anonymous @Anonymous @Neil_Cross! This is a pretty longstanding behavior in Vault over the years and I want to say thanks to everyone for their patience. I have just verified that the scrolling behaves as expected in Details and Icon layouts and goes vertical instead of horizontal as of Vault 2018.2 and 2019 releases. I would recommend you verify your Vault server and client versions then update to the latest builds of 2018 and 2019. You can see find those updates in your Autodesk Account under Product Updates.
Let me know if you have questions about this.
Note: I am marking this as a solution for Vault 2018 and 2019 and to help others in the future find it more easily.
Great. Glad to finally see this fix. How about fixing the same weird behavior that occurs in the "Open from Vault" window in Inventor?
@Anonymous Thanks for pointing this out in the Open from Vault dialog in Inventor. I just verified the scrolling in my test systems. Let me submit this to the development team.
problem return again: 10/24/18 (with the update)
I clicked on the bar on the side to drag down instead of scrolling and the old style scroll came back.
Now i cannot revert to the new scroll.... AHHHH!
A restart of software wont fix it!
Please fix!
@DeerSpotter What update did you put on? Was a Vault and/or Inventor update? Are you using small or large icon layout?
I just tested with Vault client 2018.3.2 and Vault client 2019.1. And I agree with you. There is still some strange scrolling going on. If I use the up and down keyboard arrows, then the scroll goes vertically as I would expect. However, as @DeerSpotter says, if you use your mouse to drag and and down on the scroll bar or use the mouse wheel, then the icons scroll horizontally. Let me look into this further.
Thanks for bringing this up.
