Help! Where's my old Zoom In?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:19:31 GMT

Just made the leap from ArchiCad 15 to 19... and they seem to have taken away the ability to trigger the zoom-in magnifying glass with a keyboard shortcut. I previously had this shortcut assigned to a mouse button so I could click and draw a rectangle to zoom to that area. (another button was zoom full)

I know it's still an icon in the lower left of the plan window... but that's rubbish compared to having it short-cutted and programmed to be on a mouse button.

Any way to get that back? Scrolling in with 8 swipes of the zoom school wheel each time is mAKInG mE cRazY!

I guess you would have to define it the same way you defined it in AC15. Can you export your Keyboard Shortcuts from AC15's Work Environment Dialog and import it in A19?

Alternately, if you go to the Work Environment Dialog, select Keyboard Shortcuts item on the left, the right will show all the shortcuts. Select "All commands in alphabetical order" in the "List" field. Type "Zoo" and it will take you to the "Zoom In " command. Assign any keyboard shortcut to it, then OK the Dialog.

Then maybe you can use a mouse macro software to map your mouse button to that key you assigned to the Zoom In command.
