Invert mouse scrolling

Hi, I recently updated Substance Designer to the latest version 11.3.0 and I wanted to know if there is a way to reverse the mouse scrolling: when I scroll up, it zooms in and down, it zooms out.   

I know I could do it with previous versions but I can't find the setting that would allow me to do it in the lastest version. 

Thanks

Hello @Melomya,

 

Certainly! The zoom direction can be inverted globally in the General section of the Preferences window: check the Invert zoom in views setting.

 

Best regards.

    Substance designer mousewheel zoom is the opposite of the alt+RMB with no setting to correct it.
    Substance painter is correct by default (and also has a setting to change it).

    Hi Jack,

     

    Thanks for the message.

     

    In fact, Substance Painter and Substance Designer natively share the same shortcuts for zooming. To be fair, most of the software are sharing the same shortcuts. Usually, we consider the image as an object when using analogic gestures (mouse, touchpad, etc.), but not with digital commands as the steps of a mousewheel.

    Therefore, moving the mouse is like "pushing" the camera, and the mousewheel is like switching the value of its position.

     

    With that being said, we could totally think the opposite and both options make sense. We could maybe divide the current Invert Zoom parameter, so the users can invert either the mouse drag or the mousewheel (or both). I'll share the suggestion with the team.
