    |
|
I've been using a logitech mouse with USB overdrive. The only way it seemed I'd get a scroll zoom is setting the scroll in USB overdrive to key commands for "Zoom now ". " Mouse wheel zooms" in the PC preferences did not affect that mouse.
I am trying a wacom tablet with the wacom mouse and it automatically zooms by the scroll wheel without set up.(it is opposite from the in-out pattern I was using). This seems to be "mouse wheel zooms" in preferences. Is there any trick (other than holding the mouse backwards) to change which way it zooms?

OS 10.4.11
I know I know..,and I say INITFM.

I believe you need to set, in USB Overdrive, the scroll wheel to 'Do Nothing' or if that does not work to 'Scroll up' and 'scroll down'.
If you use a laptop with a trackpad and a mouse, you can draw and zoom with the mouse with the zoom in and out using USB overdrive set to 'zoom on now' and 'zoom out', and use 2-fingered scrolling on the trackpad to to pan the drawing or scroll the layer window. This worked in PC6, became too slow in PC7 but is absolutely fluid in PC8 on an Intel Macbook or Macbook Pro. Just for this alone I do almost all my drawing on a laptop instead of a desktop. |

I like your ideas on the trackpad. Mine is sitting right to my left, unused, when I have a mouse.
I think you explained why the zoom wasn't working (without key commands) in the first mouse. Thanks
