zooming

Post by dspond23 »

Im new to vcarve. ive been doing alot with it so far. just mostly experimenting with different projects. i mostly build guitars. I have a question, when Im doing the toolpaths and im in 3d. How do I zoom in really close? I did it just now on accident and I cant figure out how to do it again.

Hi,

The quickest/easiest for me is to roll the scroll wheel on the mouse. (When in the 2D or 3D window, click your left mouse button once on the area you want to zoom, then roll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.)

Here’s a link to a post describing some additional options for you:

Please consider getting a mouse with a scroll wheel for your laptop - I believe you’ll be pleasantly surprised how much faster you can work.
