Disable Illustrator cc 2017 zoom to selection?

[tims55966968]

I've just updated my PC to the latest version of Illustrator, there is one feature that's bugging me, zoom to selection. I can see the appeal but i don't want it, it's disrupting my workflow, anyone know how to turn it off, when they introduced animated zoom, the GPU section of Preferences had a checkbox to disable it, I was hoping that zoom to selection may have a similar option, anyone know?

Thanks in advance!

Finally!!! after a year of struggling there is at least an option in Illustrator 2018 to disable this crazy default feature.

What did you expect a fast patch in the next release? Suffer first.

literal tears of joy "zoom-to-selection" can be turned-off. It's like a baby christmas in june.

This has been that case for quite some time now?

What version do you have in the About box?

[CaroGlb]

2017.1.0

[Earth Oliver]

That's a few versions behind. If you want the new features, you need to update the app.

If you cannot see the recent 2018 update, Quit and restart the CC app.

I really wish this was a totally separate option with its own key shortcut. I HATED it, yet yesterday, finally ran into a situation where it was really helpful, but then had to go back-and-forth in Preferences, turning it on and off when I wanted the function and when I didn't. Is there maybe a way to write a script that would turn on the preference, perform the "zoom to selection" action, then maybe turn the preference back off? Or maybe another way to somehow be able to assign "zoom to selection" it's own key command, independent to the "normal" Cmd++ zoom command?

[Ton Frederiks]

I totally agree, I have asked for Cmd Alt + and - since the start of this feature, but it was made into a Preference setting.

Feature request:

Made a feature request here:

Zoom shortcut instead of Preference Setting – Adobe Illustrator Feedback

I added to the feedback request. Fingers crossed.

[Ton Frederiks]

I saw that,thanks!

Hopefully more will follow.

Start a new thread/post to ask for people to join in?

[Ton Frederiks]

Sounds like a good idea.
