If I zoom with the mouse scroll "alt scroll" then press the down arrow it opens my file menu, this is 100% reproducible. Zoom any other way will not open the menu. I have searched the shortcuts and can not find any shortcut associated with opening the file menu.
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?
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.
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 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.
The Line Tool in Photoshop CS6 is radically different from that in PSCS5. I have used Photoshop almost daily for years, yet I haven't been able to figure this out.
I have Photostop CS3 on a pc and want to draw several arrows with a curve. I can draw a line with the pen tool and make a bezier curve, but how do I add an arrow head? Using the arrow symbol only lets me draw an arrow in a straight line and the head of the arrow is too big.
I want to draw a directional arrow on top of a background image.
And then render/export it as a video, and use it in an image sequence for INDD DPS (so when the image is activated in an iPad app, the arrow draws across the image on the screen).
Is there a way to create this arrow drawing using Timeline in CS6?
Is the normal arrow key default increment in Photoshop (not shift+arrow, just arrow) the same length (in pixels or inches) on all standard keyboards? In other words, would the Photoshop arrow key default increment change from keyboard to keyboard?
Recently purchased a new computer with 64 bit system 4meg ram. I installed CS2 and everything seems to be working except the arrow keys and the control +/- features. Arrow keys are working in other programs like word and publisher.
I need to put an arrow on a photo to point to something. But when I use the Shape Arrow, the arrow disappears when I stop dragging it to the size I want. Also if I use the line tool, the arrow is oddly shaped and not shaped like a simple arrow with a simple arrowhead.
I am using PS CS6 on a Mac desktop. I have had it installed for a few months now. A few days ago when I used the paintbrush tool it started blinking between the tool and a black arrow making it very difficult to paint. Today it does this with every tool I select.
When painting with the paintbrush the cursor flickers between the round brush size cursor to an arrowhead. The paintbrush continues painting as it should, but the cursor flickers constantly between the 2. This is a visual annoyance but doesn't seem to affect performance.
I'm on Photoshop CS6 (latest updates) on 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with OS X 10.6.8.
I'm on a Mac Pro, quad core, 9 GB memory. I have been using CS5 for all my photo work and use Bridge and ACR to do all of my editing. I have set up two monitors with content on the right screen as thumbnails and preview (and other tabs) on the left screen. To do my edits I use the right/left arrow keys to scroll through the images (and then make my picks/ratings) as I go.
I just installed CS6 Demo and am trying to do the same thing...everything else works normally but the right/left arrow keys (moving from image to image) now takes 4 to 5 seconds to bring up the image (CS5 was instant).All paramaters/settings/preferences are the same. I know CS6 needs a more powerful video card (mine is only 256 mb...I will be upgrading soon)...but here's the weird thing which leads me to believe that's not the problem...the up and down arrow keys work normally, i.e. they go from image to image instantly. I edit folders of images that range from 200 to 300, up to 1500 images from a shoot on a daily basis so I need this to work for me!
Also, I'm having problems trying to run a batch in CS6, I set up an action identical to what I had running in CS5 (embedding a text logo on an image) and while it goes through the process of doing the action, at the end it pops up an error message and lists all the images saying it could not process the request. Weird or what?
i don't have a normal cursor, which in my case is an arrow. instead i have what looks like three tiny hands in a row. this makes it very difficult to be accurate when cropping, or tilting. i uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. i'm using cs4 extended
PS CC Brush flickering to arrow after each stroke. My problem is on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.
As a computer tech, I have tried the tricks I know, and thought I would get on here and see if/what I am missing.
Im running Photoshop CC 64bit on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, updated using 3 monitors between the nvida and on-board intel graphics. I have also Checked that PS is updated as well.Im on a Intel I3 Sandy with an nvida GTX 550 Ti 9.18.13.2049 (6-21-2013) with 8gigs of ram
I am also using a bamboo Capture (It's all I can afford right now) with the latest drivers (5.3.2.1).I have unplugged the capture and was able to reproduce the problem just using the mouse.
I testing and reproduced the problem on PSD's large and small and jpg's as well.I have also disabled and enabled several options in the tablet and windows tablet settings.
I have reproduced the problem using all 3 monitors in full screen and windowed mode.I have been able to reproduce the problem in most of the settings with in PS CC.
A more detail of the problem is:99% of the time, at the end of a stroke (Pen or mouse) make the windows arrow pointer appear instead of the brush. So, Lets say I make several one direction strokes. If the mouse (Pen) keeps moving after the stroke, the windows arrow cursor will blink on screen. If you to the same thing and end the pen/mouse motion with the stroke the arrow cursor icon will appear and stay there until you move the cursor again.
