Hi,
I was just about to report this very same issue, but stumbled across this post which looks to be a few months old now. I was wondering if you had an update on when this would be addressed, or if it's even something that's currently flagged to be fixed by the devs. It's one of those things that's really irritating to deal with, and was hoping it would have been resolved by now.
It's somewhat baffling if this was a behaviour that was implemented intentionally, as I've never come across anything like it before regarding navigation. As a user if this is behaviour devs want to have as a feature, I would really appreaciate having something along the lines of 'Invert zoom in 3d views' and 'Invert zoom in 2d views' as options under preferences.
Hello,
You may be happy to see that in our latest release, version 11.3.0, we made zooming with Alt+RMB consistent across all viewports. The zooming behaviour is now the following:
- Hold Alt+RMB and drag up: Zoom out/Push away
- Hold Alt+RMB and drag down: Zoom in/Pull closer
- Mouse wheel up: Zoom in
- Mouse wheel down: Zoom out
The Invert zoom in views option in the General section of the Preferences is still global, which means all these mapping will be inverted in all viewports.
Best regards.
