HumbleChief Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The scroll wheel moves way too much for each movement. Was living with it but I think it needs some attention. I have the actual mouse - not the 3D wheelie thingy. Anyone else seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hey Larry, I'm not so certain that the zoom issue is directly related to a specific kind of mouse. ...meaning that it happens with every mouse. I went back to a usb mouse thinking that the problem would go away, but it hasn't. For now, I guess you just have to be carefully with each scroll of the wheel while zooming. This has got to be a bug. Turning the scroll a few notches in an overhead view shouldn't land the camera right inside the house!! Thanks for bringing this up. I was literally just about to post the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDandD Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Same thing here. Been relying on just using a click or two and then doing everything with the 3d mouse. Been using since beta so I have become used to it. (Using the 3d mouse to navigate rather than "zooming". Definitely something going on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_Gavin Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 In X8 the zoom is now the trolly camera if I remember reading it right. The trolly camera always was a bit wonky. I think it needs attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 This does not seem to be fixed yet and I still can't get used to it. Fortunately the orbit camera that I use the most works the best. I was working on a 3D modeling project and was having a terrible time with the full overview camera because of the tiny size of the hardware piece I was working on ( 3.5" ) and one click of the mouse wheel would zoom me about two feet at a time. Then I discovered a very useful tool "CTRL ALT Zoom". My frustration level has returned from 10 back to 1. I sure hope that this is not something that you all know and did not share with me. I did find this in the Help file but nothing about an override function. ( CTRL ALT Zoom ) WOW!!! The program adjusts the speed of these actions depending on characteristics of the camera: • Zoom speed depends on how close the camera is to the object located behind the mouse pointer. When the target object is far from the camera, zooming is faster; as the camera gets closer to the target, zooming slows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 make sure you are using the drivers for that device and not the generic one Microsoft gives you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
