2015 won't zoom when placing tools on model
-
I've noticed that with 2015 when you select a tool such as circle, rotate, etc, you cannot zoom in or out until the tool has actually been placed. This is a bit of a pain. Often it is necessary to zoom in to accurately place the tool. I know this wasn't true of SU 8, but since I'm going from SU8 to 2015 I don't know if this was also true of 2013 and 2014, and I also don't know if this has already been discussed elsewhere in the forums.
Am I right on this, or is my copy of 2015 defective? -
I'm not seeing that behavior. It works as expected for me.

So you're saying that if you select the rotate tool, you can zoom in or out before you actually place the tool on the model?

As long as the cursor is within the drawing space, even over empty space, I can zoom with the scroll wheel just fine.

Oh crap
No way am I gonna reinstall 2015

I am not seeing this behavior either.
I can activate all of the drawing and modification tools, then zoom in/out before clicking the first point etc... just as it has been 'forever'...
Graphics Card glitch ?

Maybe it's a mouse issue. Does the scroll wheel zoom for you with any tool selected?

Well, my computer has been acting a bit strange lately.
This morning I turned on my monitor and moved my mouse to wake up the computer, and three open 2015 models, about a dozen images and maybe a half dozen open folders were gone. Well, not gone from the computer, just no longer open. And there were no auto saves for the models.
I checked my APC log and there were no power outages or voltage glitches during the night.
And I've noticed that my auto-saves are getting iffy. One may auto save, another not.
And a few other strange things.
I have built another Win7 computer, but it's not a top of the line, just something thrown together mostly from spare parts. Guess I could move everything over there until I get this one straightened out.
What a pain.

It works just fine when using SU8
-
I confirm that I do not see this behavior either...

I did use a baseball bat on my computer the other day when it was annoying me, but that shouldn't be a factor, right?
-
Guess I'd better shut this thing down and see what I can find.
I'll just move my hard drive with all the SU stuff over to the other computer for now. Jeez, gotta start all over with 2015 (and SU8, I'm still saving all my models as SU8 until I'm absolutely sure that 2015 is the one I want to use full time).
That's gonna have to wait tho, still getting ready for the big Winter storm that's supposed to hit here tomorrow.
Have a nice Veteran's Day

@hellnbak - You do make me laugh! I hope you sort the problem out - I'm loving all the new tricks in 2015. When I can find my camera I'll show you my partners PC - yous can't be in a worse state than his!
