Inverted scroll wheel (max 25)

Hi,

Is there a way to make the scroll wheel inverted so zoom in<--->out?

I cant find any concrete posts online from the past 10 years and my AI assistent keeps lying to me about functions that dont exist.

Thanks!

Go to mouse settings in Windows and change "Down motion scrolls up".

I guess that works. But i wanted to change it so all my other 3D software zooms in the same way. Now my autoCAD, Fusion and Inventor all scroll up to zoom in, and only my 3dsMax zooms out.

And having to change your core PC settings for a function that could (should) be in Max already is not optimal.

I've the same problem here with my 3Dconnexion mouse. This is not "solved".
