mouse wheel suddenly stopped zooming

While I was using V8.1.6 one day I found that the mouse scroll wheel no longer zoomed the display, but simply made the command line scroll up and down. I went back to holding down the control & shift keys to zoom, but that makes panning slower than holding down the scroll wheel. Today I upgraded to version 8.1.14, hoping that a fresh installation would bring the scroll wheel action back to normal. But there's no change.I can't find anywhere in the settings menus to change the mouse wheel function. Is there a setting I can change?Thanks

  • Tim, have you tried playing with the settings in your Mouse control panel?I don't know if that will help, but after reading your post and trying to find a BricsCad setting for it, I tried the control panel and found that changing a setting there allowed me to wheel-scroll in the command line and the properties box. I could never do that before but always wished I could.So thanks for cluing me in on that, and on the shift-ctrl zooming. I never knew about that either, and it's something else I've wanted, an easy way to make a fine adjustment of the zoom factor.The control panel setting that I changed, by the way, was from "MS-Intellimouse compatible mode" to "Enhanced dual wheel function mode" (the control panel came with my GE 5-button optical mouse; changing that setting made a difference even though the model I'm using doesn't have a dual wheel).
