Zoom to Mouse Position

chris.major — Tue, 26 May 2020 17:09:48 GMT

My laptop at home zooms to my mouse position perfectly. At school it zoom to the screen center and I can't find a setting to change this. I have seen this question asked many times and there is never an answer besides "me too". Please help!

Hi @chris.major

Thanks for posting! Are you using the scroll wheel to zoom, or ALT+Right mouse button? Alternatively, you can select an object and press the F key to frame the object in the center of the screen.

Are you using a 3D mouse or wacom tablet at home?

Thanks again for being a part of our community!

Thank you for the quick reply. I am using the middle MMB of my wireless Logitech mouse. I have been using the F key as a work around. At home, where it does zoom to mouse position, I am using the MMB of a different wireless mouse. I have tried switching the mice to see if that was the issue but the results were the same.
