CS6 AI : set scroll wheel zoom directions

[pirijan]

So I use OSX Lion with the default reverse/inverted scrolling. In AI CS5 and PS CS6 I'm used to zooming by holding the opt/alt key while scrolling. Just like in these apps, it's expected when I move my scroll wheel up then the artboard will zoom out, and when I move I scroll down the artboard zooms in.

In Illustrator CS6 , this behaviour is flipped and I can't find any way to set/reverse it. Anyone know? This is killing me.

Thanks!

Win User here.    Agree.   We should have the option to change the scroll wheel as if it were a keyboard customization.   These are basic things that build the core of the apps flow.    All CS programs should work this way.  i ahve trouble with preimiere changing from one version to the next each day as i go from work to home.

Edit

this is an old thread but thanks to the previous post. But if you have magic mouse the option is to scroll direction: natural has to be uncheck.

Thanks

Inverted mouse scroll in illustrator is driving me mad while switching to indesign / photoshop. I can't understand, why in the 6th (!!) version of the Creative Suite is still such a pain to use all the apps together. The interface is still not unified after so many years. Lost money for the upgrade for me.

I agree, quite annoying, I wont go as far as saying it has ruined for me. It definitely makes it a bit awkward when i am jumping between PS and AI, but I think the great improvements made to Photoshop in the newest release outweigh the strange scrolling behavior hands down.

I agree with you on that swhinck. PS cs6 is a significant improvement. AI cs6, however, still feels like a regression . My solution: use cs6 photoshop with cs5 illustrator. They work great together.

Do they really?

I didnt consider doing it, it seems like a lot of work.

You may be right though, I will give it a bit longer and if it just keeps itching at me I will go the same route.

[pirijan]

well in my case I already had cs5 installed so it wasn't a big deal to keep just AI cs5.

But ya, I'm regularly going between the two programs and the flow is flawless

Fixed!!! ...with update 16.2.0! Finally!!

[pirijan]

sounds like a christmas miracle. But when I open up illustrator cs6 and check for updates it says I'm up to date, even though it's on 16.0.3 with crappy scrolling still ..

[pirijan]

oh wait, it works all the same now.
