Mouse wheel zoom factor

Hi All
I've looked through all the archived posts and haven't found a suitable answer to this one.
How do you change the zoom factor on the mousewheel in SW?
I'm using a Logitech Cordless Click! mouse with Mouseware running.

RE: Mouse wheel zoom factor

In tool/options there should be a setting there for increments. There is also a setting in the mouse options.
Sorry, don't have it here to get details.

I looked in tools/options - no joy. There is only a setting for rtation speed , which I had set on fastest.
As far as I know the Windows mouse options setting for wheel increments does not affect SW. SW has its own mouse control.

RE: Mouse wheel zoom factor

I think the best option to control zoom speed is to use center mouse button + Shift.  I usually prefer the wheel, but when I need to zoom more accurately, I use the Shift button.

RE: Mouse wheel zoom factor

Another thing I found is that if you use the Logitech Setpoint software, you can program the wheel side buttons (when you push the wheel to the left or the right) which are normally scroll left or right to "cruise up" or "cruise down", which in SW translates to zoom in and out.  You can set the speed, but not the increment.

I don't have that function on my Cordless Click! mouse.

RE: Mouse wheel zoom factor

This is something I want to change also, but from the looks of this post you cannot actually change the final zoom factor in SW, is this true?
