Fusion360 vs Inventor scrolling to zoom scale

KRoser_12 — Wed, 07 Aug 2019 15:39:39 GMT

Hello.

After 5 years working in InvetorHSM Iam trying to switch to Fusion. I noticed diferent rate of scale with scrolling with model to zoom. I need to scroll with my mouse whell maybe 3times more to achive same level of zoom compared to Inventor. It is verry small thing but it is drives me crazy when working with model a need to quickly zoom in and zoom out. Is there any way to set this "zoom scale rate" in fusion?

I hope i explained well with my bad english.

Thanks for help.

Hi @KRoser_12

There is currently no way to increase zoom speed in Fusion. If you want to change it you'll need to do that in your system settings.

Cheers,

Thank You so much for reply. Can You please handle this post (request, wish, idea) for new feature to Fusion dev team?

It could be simple to implement to settings and jumping betwen inventor and fusion would be much easier for those who doesnt have 3d mouse.

Thanks

Thanks Karina for reply. Last idea about my zoom issue is a year old so i dont think dev team care about this.

I dont know if anyone will see this but i just learn about little program AutoHotkey and i wrote realy simple script for this to multiple scroll zoom in Fusion. It works pretty well so far. Now working in fusion is ten times more comfortable.

Here is script for AutoHotkey

#IfWinActive, ahk_exe Fusion360.exe
#If MouseIsOver("Autodesk Fusion 360")
$WheelUp::
Send {WheelUp 3}
return
$WheelDown::
Send {WheelDown 3}
MouseIsOver(WinTitle) {
    MouseGetPos,,, Win
    return WinExist(WinTitle . " ahk_id " . Win)
}
#IfWinActive
return

It will multiple 3times (you can change it for you taste) your mouse whell input on fusion. So you will click mouse wheel one time and fusion does 3 clicks.

Hi KRoser_12

How do I add this script to fusion? I've not done anything with scripts before so don't know how to use them.

Thanks
