Restore Zoom Tool to using cursor as center point instead of object pivot

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 10:04:38 GMT

Hey,

Since I upgraded to Inventor Professional 2015 I've been having some trouble with my Zoom Tool on the SteeringWheel. I'm used to having the Zoom Tool set the current cursor location as pivot point for Zoom and Orbit, but now I have to use Ctrl+Click and drag to do that. Is there any way to restore it to the way I'm used to so that I don't have to press Ctrl before zooming with the SteeringWheel in order to set a pivot point? Now it just defaults back to the object/assembly pivot or the last used pivot point if I'm just clicking and dragging with the Zoom Tool.

Hi George

From tools panel-->Application Option-->Display, check the Zoom Behavior setting, you should check 'Zoom to cursor' option based on your requirement.

Regards,

The 'Zoom to cursor' box is already checked. My problem is with the Zoom Tool on the SteeringWheel application. It defaults to zooming to the center of the active object instead of to the cursor. If I want to zoom to cursor using the Zoom Tool I have to hold the Ctrl key while clicking and dragging, which I did not need to do in my previous Inventor version.

I want to change the default setting of the Zoom Tool so that it prioritizes zooming to the cursor and not the object center.
