What happened to Zoom in CC?

[CustomLaser]

I've always held down the option key on a mac and scolled to zoom in and out. Doesn't work on CC. Is there a setting for that I'm missing? I can't locate it.

Thanks-

[DrStrik9]

Option-mouse-scroll works here. (No special settings that I am aware of.) It may be that you need to customize your mouse in System Preferences.

Alternatively, you can command-space and click for larger, with additional option for smaller.

Using a magic mouse, all settings are correct in the preferences for the mouse (after all, I've been using it for years now), and there seems to be no option set wrong that I can find.

I hope this isn't a "wait 6 weeks for the fix" update. Don't they test anything any more? That should have shown up long before the final release.

Doesn't work on a MBP's trackpad either.

hey there,

what year is your machine?

Anything older than a 2013 will not have the VRAM capabilities required for the Animated Zoom feature to function.

I am currently struggling with that issue now. Recently bought a refurbished iMac and its too old that the function doesn't work.

Animated Zoom requires 1GB of VRAM to function.

2012 machines and older will have 512MB of VRAM which cancels out that function even if its the most updated version of Creative Cloud.

Open Adobe Illustrator > Preferences > Performance > GPU >> if "Animated Zoom" is greyed out and it says something similar to "it has been detected that you have less than the required VRAM it'll indicate 512MB or something like that. Making it impossible to resolve.

We're hearing reports on this but right now haven't found a specific cause.

I'm presently running a 10.8.4 retina Macbook Pro and a bluetooth mouse without issue. Pinch and Zoom appears to work on my trackpad and my mouse wheel will either scroll or zoom when I use the modifier.

This makes me wonder what differences in configuration we might have or software thereof.

How does it work in Safe Boot? http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/start-safe-boot-mode-mac.html

Does it behave any differently in a different user account?

Are you using any specific configurations of workspaces? Launchpad or Expose? If you don't use those, does it work?

When you go to the trackpad settings in System Preferences, I assume almost everything is selected?

[Scott Worthington]

A quick followup. Can we be certain as to what mice are being used here?

Are all the mouse users having problems using a magicmouse? So the scrolling isn't so much a wheel movement but a gesture?

If you use Pinch In/Out, does that work better? I understand that it didn't work in CS6 but in CC it can recognize Pinch gestures. This would be opposed to the other gesture that is holding the modifier and swiping with two fingers.

Alt + scrolling/swiping on Magic Mouse (no wheel) for a zoom does not work on OS 10.8.4 no matter which mouse preferences are selected. Starting in safe mode, user switching and deactivating workspaces does not change anything.

Scrolling/swiping on the Magic Mouse scrolls/pans the document area. Pinch in/out does not work at all.

However, trackpad pinch works as expected, but again, no zoom with Alt + trackpad scroll.

I try with the Intous 5 Tablet, and it works only with gestures, Zoom IN and Zoom OUT, But I want back the Mouse Scroll Zooming it drove me crazy.

The option + scroll works fine in Photoshop CC and InDesign CC, but doesn't work at all in Illustrator CC. This is with my trackpad on my MacBook Pro. OS X 10.8.4

[LandonLa]

15" retina display macbook 2.7ghz

osx 10.8.4

option scroll to zoom with magic mouse:

photoshop: yes

indesign: yes

illustrator: no

option scroll to zoom with basic dell mouse:

photoshop: yes

indesign: yes

illustrator: yes

problem seems to be the compatibility between illustrator cc and the magic mouse.

[steve_cross]

Same issue here. Photoshop and InDesign scroll/option zoom works fine, Illustrator nope.

I'm using 10.8.4 on an iMac with a magic mouse.

System Prefs/Mouse:

Scroll direction: natural

Secondary click: right side

Smart Zoom: checked

[steve_cross]

Command/scroll scrolls the artboard horizontal fine and normal vertical scroll works fine. Holding shift in addition to that speeds up the scroll fine. Option is the only key not providing any modifaction to the default scroll action.

[LandonLa]

I'm having the exact same issue with the same setup. I wonder if uninstalling and reinstalling will solve the issue.

[CustomLaser]

10.8.4 as well, with a mighty mouse on an imac. Doesn't work at all with that. Dusted off the mouse that came with my Wacom Intuos that has a scroll wheel and that works.

Pinch doesn't work on the mighty mouse.

MBP 10.8.4 and pinch works for zooming on that.

Restarting in safe mode didn't change anything, still the same behavior.

[iequezada]

I'm having the same issue as described, option+scroll doesn't work as expected on Illustrator CC running on MAC OSX 10.8.3, with the magic mouse,
scroll direction: natural
secondary click: right side
smart zoom: checked

[Rod Razvan]

I am running latest version of PS CC in my MACbook pro (2011) . the Pinch and Zoom option works perfect in previous version with trackpad but now it doesn't work ......

Does it have any special setup now?

[TW1ZZL3]

I'm having the same issue as well, mighty mouse running 10.8.3.

[Dylan0821]

I have same problem too. Does anyone know how to reinstall illustatror CS6? I already deleted it....

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

Dylan821 please see Download previous versions of Adobe Creative applications -  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-previous-versions-creative-applications.html for information on how to reinstall Illustrator CS6.

Same problem, does not work with magic mouse. Only works with old mouse with actual wheel. Please fix, slows down productivity.

[gregnemes1]

Same problem, MBP 10.8.4, Magic Mouse and trackpad option scrolling does not work.
