mike m oz Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The Z key was reassigned to Snap Loupe. You can customise your workspace to assign another key combination to Snap Loupe and then change the Z key back to Zoom Out. If you have a scroll wheel mouse this will zoom you out as will Fit to Page. Quote Link to comment
Michelle Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 no scroll mouse yet but need to zoom out farther than page fit ..and I am having a fit wth is snap loupe? how do I just plain zoom out.. I miss the tool on the bottom of the page with the little mag glass with the minus in it...(VW12) - VW dum-dum on a deadline Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) Magnifying glass is in the Basic Tool palette now. The hot key is just plain c. Press option to to toggle in/out. Also, up in the mid top of the menu bar find 3 zoom icons (fit to page, fit to all objects/selection and zoom by clicking) and a drop down with zoom percentages.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted June 22, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi Michelle, Seriously consider getting a mouse with a scroll wheel. If you can borrow one for a minute and try scroll wheel zooming, you'll probably place an order another minute later. It's SO much faster and can be done during drawing operations as well.

Michelle Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 I must have already screwed something up in here as I do not see the percentage drop down up there and cannot turn that mag glass to anything but what it is a zoom in thx sorry to be lame Quote Link to comment
Michelle Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 ugh sorry no sleep make for a dumber gal...I found the tools but still cannot find an easy zoom out like I was used to...off to buy a good mouse post presentation thanks all M Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Michelle, you can still use Command+1 (zoom in by 2) and Command+2 (zoom out by 2). Also, Command+3 = 100% scale; Command+4 = Zoom to Page... Hope that helps! Also, it is very helpful if you create a signature for yourself (my stuff, above) that lists your hardware, OS and VW's versions... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Matt Panzer Posted June 22, 2010 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted June 22, 2010 Michelle, Option-clicking with the Zoom In tool should zoom out. Actually, You can have it the way you're used to by adding the zoom out tool back in your workspace using the workspace editor. NNA took it out (to simplify the interface) but it's still available to add back to your workspace. Quote Link to comment
