johnharley Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 I am brand new to vectorworks. We are still very much "learning the ropes". My question is: does scrolling the intellimouse wheel have any real functionality in vectorworks? As far as I can tell it merely moves the drawing up and down. Zooming capabilities would be nice. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 John: I do not have an Intellimouse, however as far as I know of the only feature available in VectorWorks that can be used is the vertical scroll. I will be happy to add the other features to the Wish List to see if there can be greater interaction in the future. ------------------ Brian O Nemetschek North America Technical Support Specialist Quote Link to comment
johnharley Posted October 9, 2001 Author Share Posted October 9, 2001 Please do add this to the wishlist. I think this Brings a greater ease of use to the program. we currently have this type of zooming capability on Autocad lt and Paint Shop Pro. P.S. So far I have been very impressed with the performance and potential of Vetorworks. Its just alot to lean while you still have to make deadlines. But I think in the long run it will prove very versitle and useful. quote: Originally posted by Brian O: John: I do not have an Intellimouse, however as far as I know of the only feature available in VectorWorks that can be used is the vertical scroll.

pismox Posted October 9, 2001 Share Posted October 9, 2001 Agreed 100%. Zooming with the mouse wheel is a must!! Also panning when scroll wheel is pushed is a great feature that would be an awesome addition to VW. These are about the only two features that I actually like about ACAD. Maybe in the upcoming OSX VW version???? Quote Link to comment
Speedy Gonzales Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 I have good news. The MS Intellimouse Optical is programmable within the control panel (if you're using a Mac). You can asign key commands to the wheel. For example, you can assign the zoom in command to when you press down and forward; zoom out when you press down and back. You can save these preference to be specific to VectorWorks. The zooming is not as smooth as in AutoCAD (it will be incremental), but it is better than nothing until NNA incorporates it into future enhancements. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
