Zoom

[Turbine]

Is there a hidden "hack" to change zoom commands to the +/- keys instead of pageup/page down keys ?

just a personal peeve

What Version are you using. if you are using version 9.1 the scrool button on the mouse will now do this for you.

if you are running V9.sp1 then I have a Chhok that will help you do this now as long as you are running any thing higher then Win98se.

I have checked and at this time we have control over most key settings but not the arrows.
I will check with the devleopers to see if there is some thing I am missing.

It's v9.0 running on Win98 2nd ed.
Arrows are OK.(pan)
It's the pg up and down I want to change.(zoom in/ out)

Contact your dealer and ask for the 9.1 it is shiping and you will be able to use the mouse to take care of this for you along with this holding the ALT key while in this mode you will be able to pan ,till you let go of the ALT key then it will go back to rotation.

If you like I will still check with the office about be able to change those keys?

Thanks cadcam. I can live with it as is but
a newer version is more fun.

I wouldn't suggest anything like re-mapping your keyboard while you run MC, but it is possible. But 9.1 will likely please you.

..along with this holding the ALT key while in this mode you will be able to..

I use the mouse in my left hand so I can use the arrows to pan, with wm-zoom it's nice to zoom and pan at (almost) the same time.

Hi
Not sure how much has changed on keyboard layout check the shortcut keys in your help files I use MC extensively in version
6-7 and F1 will zoom window and F2 zooms out use this very often and it was convenient too

As cadcam said, there is a c-hook that adds mouse wheel zoom to mastercam 9sp1. I can post a link for you if you want it.


And also as he mentioned, mouse wheel zoom is now integrated into v9.1

[cadcam]

Buried with the C-hook in V9.1 or V9 sp1 you can Dynamicly rotate the part by clicking the Wheel on the mouse and while in this mode hold the "Alt" key and it will turn to pan as long as you hold the "alt " key and when you let go of this key it goes back to Dynamic.

Cheers and happy weekend time.

hold the "Alt" key and it will turn to pan
