Slow zoom

Zooming using my mouse center wheel takes many spins, and is pretty slow. Is this a limitation of the mouse or Layout? I'm using a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000.

Hit Z and then zoom without the scroll wheel - very quick.

Thanks Richard. That's better but it's still cumbersome compared to sketchup, which let's me zoom in super close exactly where my curser sits, with one quick spin of the wheel. When using Z in layout, I often have to zoom and pan and zoom again to get where I want. Guess I'll get better with time.

I haven't noticed zooming with the scroll wheel to be slow LayOut. I wonder if there's any adjustment in your mouse's settings. I use Logitech wireless mice on both Windows and Mac and zoom is plenty fast.

Do you have a wired USB mouse? You might try it instead of the wireless mouse and see if there's any difference in behavior.

Thanks Dave. Been away. The wired mouse is the same. I'll check settings and see if I can find anything. Right now it takes about 3-4 spins of the wheel to get from zoom extents to closs-in, and it's kind of jerky. Gets faster once I get in closer.

Is there a "zoom window" command on layout that can get me in close? I can't find a command like that on Layout.
