3D zoom in Aspire

Post by jcjenkins3 »

In watching many of the Aspire training videos, the video often zooms in very close on a 3D part. However, it does not mention how to accomplish zoom in 3D. I searched the help files, but have found nothing. Will someone please tell me how to zoom in in 3D viewing?

thanks,
Chris

Chris, 3D zoom is controlled with the mouse buttons. However, this is not a valid user function if you are viewing a tutorial.

If your mouse is set up for it scrolling the wheel should zoom in or out.

Chris, the left button will rotate the view about ctr
the right button will zoom the view in/out
and the ctr button will move up/down or left/right

If your mouse has a scroll wheel for the middle button and you have it configured it will also zoom if you hold it in

The 2D and 3D view mouse controls are listed on pages 3 and 4 of the Help Contents in the Aspire Help menu.
