AutoCad :: Using Touchpad For Only Pan / Zoom?
Aug 15, 2013
I just thought of something that would be really cool if it were possible. I use a mouse all the time for CAD on my laptop. It's a Dell Precisiom M6500 so it is "designed" for CAD and other production work. I would like to set it up so that any time I drag on the touchpad, it pans around the drawing. Essentially just one finger scroll. Maybe pinch to zoom in and out would be cool too. This should work without clicking.
I already have the middle button on my mouse for press and hold to pan, but I like options...

I have switched my "mouse" over to the number keypad like it says to do for the touchpad computer. I go to tranform image size and the outline surrounding the photo only moves up/down or side-to-side. How do I get the outline to move at the corners so I can easily manipulate the size? Either way - FN, CTRL, Win or other buttons do nothing to enlarge photo to where I want to set it. How can I accomplish this - any experts on touchpad conversion to number keypads out there? This is Win8 with PSE11. I just want this computer to get up to par to do some photo editing.

The AutoCAD doesn’t show the “intersect osnap” at certain zoom!
The “intersection osnap” between a “hatched rectangle” and a “DASHDOT2” line appears and disappears depending on the amount of zoom!
As I zoom out the “intersection osnap” appears but when I zoom in, it disappears
Why the "intersection Osnap" should disappear as I zoom in?

I am working on getting some settings done, moving from 2008 to 2012. How do you set the Middle Mouse Button (wheel) to either Zoom All or Zoom Extents when you double click it? I thought it was set in the Main CUI file.

My keyboard has a zoom key with + and - selections. I use to use this key in drawings to zoom in and out when in the AutoCAD application when we had Windows XP. Now that I have Windows 7 I can't do this. I can't find out how to assign this key on the Microsoft Keyboard interactive software either. I have the other keys assigned as desired.
Can I still use my keyboard zoom key to zoom in and out in drawings? If so, how do I set this up in AutoCAD, or do I need to do this through a Microsoft keyboard application?

I am having problems with zoom, pan and rotate at high zoom level. The movements becoming jerky and delayed. But for whatever reason the problem exists in some assembly files and not in the others.

I use Photoshop CS2 to create Designs for webpages. These designs have pixel-exact elements, e.g. a 1-pixel-line from top to bottom.
Now when I zoom in (>100, then I have sort of anti-alias, so that the 1-pixel-line isn't only one blue anymore, but it has different blue tones. I guess for photo manipulations etc. this anti-aliasing zoom is great, but for webdesign it sucks because I don't know if only the zoom make the line "corrupt" or if it really is corrupt.
Is there a way to change this zoom?

I can't find in new max (2013) settings for zoom. I want to set Zoom about mouse pointer and adjust a bit zoom speed (now it is too much for one mouse wheel step).
I can't find zoom settings in 3ds max 2013. Where they are? I think that in previous max it was in Customize -> Viewports tab. But now it is not there.

I tried searching the forums for this topic but the search thing didn't seem to work.
A friend of mine installed Photoshop CS for me (an upgrade from 7.0) and for some reason I can't use CTRL + and CTRL - to zoom in and out, I have to use the mouse with the zoom tool which slows me down quite a bit over the course of 20 or so photo edits.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I checked Keyboard shortcuts in the preferences menu and they were correct. I've made no other changes to the program.

I use AutoCAD 2011 LT and I would like to put a pan and zoom (even a pan only window would be very useful) window on. Is that possible in that version?
Or alternatively can I go back from the annoying new menu design to the ordinary one?

I'm playing around with the walk and fly functions. I'm able to navigate around the model, but if I stand in a room the zoom is much to great. It's like I'm looking around the room through binoculars.

I have a georeferenced drawing with aerial photos and linework that I have Xref'd in a recent survey drawing. I checked that the coordinate systems match and the xref shows that it is loaded and the layers are listed as on and thawed.
However, the xref is not visible.
I tried a new blank drawing using the Map 3D template, same coordinate system. Same thing happens. However, this time, I noticed that the xref is visible when zoomed out. When I zoom in, it disappears. Screen shot attached.

If you attach a shapefile through "Connect to Data" and try to zoom to extents by right clicking on the shapefile under "Task Pane" it zooms to a different location. The shapefile and drawing PRJ is in LL84. It works in Civil3D2010 but not in 11 or 12. I have Service pack 3 installed. Why?

I have an app that uses a paletteset. The paletteset displays a modal dialog on a particular action. From the modal dialog, the user needs to be able to click a button to zoom to a particular coordinate. I have it all working, with one problem. The Zoom doesn't occur until the user closes the modal dialog. I know this is related to my limited understanding of contexts in AutoCAD.
I've tried calling my Zoom method from the modal dialog, from the parent paletteset, and asynchronously using doc.SendStringToExecute() back to my main commands class, with the same result. The Zoom occurs after exiting the modal dialog. How I can make the zoom occur while remaining in the modal dialog?

If I zoom to page in an IDW the paper space does not fill the screen. On my screen I have 15mm of space between the paper and edge of workspace.
Is there a way to make this fill the workspace by whichever is the greater size (height or width) of paper? I just want the page to fill the screen more.

I have a county wide aerial image in jp2 format, connected through Data Connect and every time I pan or zoom it says "executing query". It is very slow getting around in the drawing (tracing over tree line, roads, etc.). I have a Windows 7 64-bit machine with 6 GB of RAM. Is there a setting I can turn off to make zooming, panning, changing layouts, etc. faster?

I have created a new database: Database newDb = new Database(true, true) Inserted a block into modelspace and now I want to zoom extent before saving.
Can this be done working on a new database in memory? all the examples I have seen on this board use Interop on a open document.

I have some layouts with one viewport per page, and i am trying to make a small program to zoom to an incremental window from left to right for some model space cross sections for highways.
Any code to go into each layout, find the viewport and zoom by a window? i can derive from there.

When an macro of a Lisp is active I can zoom and pan in a drawing. I press Escape to quit.Why can't I do that when a form is active in vba? Is that only because Showmodal is on?

In LDT there was a command "zoom To point" that allowed me to type in the point to zoom to that point. The only way I am able to do this now is scroll through the point groups or point to zoom to a point.
Is there a zoom to point command inside of C3D that is more efficient than scrolling through a point list?

I have written some code that draws a graph. The graph starts at the 0,0 default of AutoCad Model Space and goes +X and +/-Y. I want to redraw the labels along the X axis every time the Zoom is changed by the user, to change the text height and density of the labels. I need to know the the current Zoom in relation to the actual extents of the graph. Ideally I would like to redraw the text as a result of the "zoom event" I don't know if there is such a thing or not.

What are the steps I should do if I want to use Object Data, the Display Manager, and digitize RUS Imperial? How do I use the Display Manager so that symbols are reasonably visible at Zoom Extents? (FYI: Trying overhead design in AUD. Symbols are different in model-based design compared to regular AutoCAD.)

I'm currently using AutoCad 2012 while in the process of installing 2013. Over the last few months i've had an increasing problem with a sore finger causing by an over reliance on zooming with the scroll wheel. To combat the problem I've recently purchased a track mouse but i'm finding it difficult to move around the drawing as freely as i'd normal be used to.
Is there any way of setting the arrow keys on the keyboard to zoom and perform a similar function as the scroll wheel on an orthodox mouse?

If in Paper Space, entering into the viewport to zoom to a specific scale (factor), what is the easiest way to make sure I am using the correct scale factor?
ie a calculation? for example say I wanted a scale of 1:20 or 1:100?

I have just switched from Pc to Mac with AC. Not sure if its the platform change, or the later version, but I am having problems doing things I used to have no problems doing!
I have duplicated a layout, but when I click on the inside of it it wont make it active and allow me to zoom the view.
If I create a new layout, I can click inside and zoom, however, in this instance, its quick for me to duplicate and re-zoom, if only I could I have tried the MV > L > off command, but that is wanting me to select an object, and not unlock the whole layout. Same thing if I hit the lock or freeze button on the right hand tool panel.
