weird zooming in corel13

wherever your pointer is the wheel either zooms in or out

 

Don't know how to fix it, but I admit it's annoying. Although I just installed X3 about an hour ago, so I don't have too much time on it yet...:Big Laugh

 

Many issues with CX......

will be addressed in COREL 14..ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....CX2?
odd numbered CORELS suck...........even numbered realeases
address the odd numbered problems...........
how about the font drop down that gets hung up all the time???

 

I use X3 extensively, and mine does not zoom this way. It zooms the same as 12.

If I click on the scroll wheel, it switches modes and centers.

I don't know where the setting is, but it is in there somewhere.

There's a difference between a good feature and what you're used to.

Centering the image on the point of zoom puts a far larger portion of the zoomed image in context as well as preserving the cursor location relative to the image for subsequent zoom operations.

Since the cursor is left right where it was relative to the image, why do you protest? Of what does this deprive you other than familiarity with a previous process?

If the cursor were left where it was then either the cursor postion relative to the image whoud shift if the image were centered or the region of interest would become a smaller and smaller area of the display with each zoom in if the image were not centered.

 

Never mind my post. I just tested and it zooms based on the cursor location.

For whatever reason, I never noticed this behavior as being that different than V12.

I just saw your concern,,,, you are right,, they did change it.. Now I gotta figure it out ... This is goona haunt me untill i find it,,, arrrrgggggg.

 

coreldraw X3 zoom is awesume more features then 12 Iv'e read about it used it once forgot some lol .... let you know more next post lol....THANK YOU & ENJOY LIFE

 

I use X3 but I still use version 10 for ease of use until I get comfortable in X3. I go to X3 for the features 10 doesn't have. The screen colors seem pale to me coompared to 10 and that annoys me. I am very pleased with X3. I have been using Corel since version 1.....then 3, 7, 10 and X3.

 

zoom tool is awesome try it ..see that magnafing glass in your tool bar to your left...... click it then object or group ...right click and you find other menus to custom your zoom features ....did ya notice how well it performed you like it,several ways to zoom, adjustable zooms,the list goes on ...THANK YOU & ENJOY LIFE

 

...and that's because that is the default action

 

tken -

This has perplexed me since you first posted so I fired up both 12 and X3 side by side and damn, they both zoom the same. Identical. I can't tell the difference. My settings are set the same as well in Tools>Options>Toolbox>Zoom, Hand Tool. Perhaps you had some other settings applied in your 12? Do you use the Navigator Box (in the lower right corner of the drawing window)to quickly move around the drawing? I find this to be very handy (in 12 as well)

 

Mine doesn't change the cursor position when I scroll zoom.. it just zooms where you place the cursor... maybe you have some option turned on or something?
