mouse wheel direction

len_1962

Can we flip the zoom of the mouse wheel to mimic the other CAD\CAM systems we use?

not sure I understand the second part. 

Yes he's saying it's in the works, it's tricky due to mouse direction being different depending on the device or Operating system used. Mac middle mouse is opposite of windows for example. They're trying to develop a way to make it easy to set up dependant on current device rather than having to change settings dependant on which device you are currently using.

@len_1962 There are a number of requests that come in for preferences. It was not put in the product since at launch since there are many options that need to be thought out.  With scroll the feedback is immediate and you can quickly correct it.  As @Andy Morris has mentioned, we will eventually add a profile that will roam with you no matter what you are on... Windows, Linux, Chromebook, Mac..  Glad to see you in here bud.

We have an improvement open for scroll wheel direction so you can set it in your user profile.

This is an interesting (but solvable) challenge since you'd want the scroll direction to be the same on which ever device you sign in on, without having to change the operating systems setting each time i.e. 'natural scrolling' on OS X.

ok, but why not get an option now to change and deal with the over all option later.

I only use Windows with SW and HSMWorks, surfcam every day and the mouse wheel is a pain, makes me not want to learn Onshape, sorry

Thanx Lou!

trying to use it a little bit more, 120 senior deign students and the Formula team has kept us pretty busy this semester.

Any update on adding scroll wheel zoom direction?

Thanks,

Just discovered Onshape today.  The first thing that I noticed was the scrolling being reversed from my daily CAD station and had to go find the solution.  It's not a deal breaker for me but I hope it's an improvement that's added soon.

I find the zoom in and out with mouse to be an annoyance but something I can live with until an update comes along. I didn't let it keep me from learning and working in Onshape. At work I use a 3Dconnexion mouse and zooming in and out is not an issue. I find myself at times left mouse clicking though to rotate my part when I am at work. These are minor annoyances and do not effect my workflow at home or at work to any great degree. It's like riding a bike and driving a car, unless of course you have a Flintstone car (haha)

Don,

 well it is a pain when you are going between 2 to 3 different programs where 2 use the mouse the SW way and then then other is bassackwards.
Don't even get me started about Rhino

It doesn't seem a big issue to solve.... just add a parameter in the user profile! Please, go ahead with the mouse wheel direction!

I gave onshape a shot. I'm a daily user of NX, solidworks, and Creo(which is absolute garbage). The mouse controls in onshape  are really keeping me from using this software more often. All 3 of the previous softwares i mentioned all use the same mouse control(pan/zoom).

I just had some hypermesh training, their mouse controls are atrocious too.

But keep it up Onshape feels like it's a combo of NX and solidworks, my 2 favs.

Hello,

So now that this has been implemented, can it be made so that the "Reverse scroll wheel zoom direction" option is tied to "Environment profile settings", rather than "View manipulation".

As the "Environment profile settings" are tied to a specific device, I presume this change would allow me to set the scroll direction on a per-device basis.

Since I use the trackpad on my MacBook and a mouse scroll wheel on my PC, I'm currently having to go into my preferences to change the scroll direction every time I switch between devices in order to have Onshape behave the way I like.

Thanks,

Andrew

This is unlikely to change because "environment..." refers to something completely different. Feel free to create an IR in the category on the right.

You could also change your trackpad settings or use pinch to zoom?
