Change scroll wheel zoom direction?

Is it possible to change zoom action to be opposite? Running Acad 2004

Not quite sure what you mean. Do you want to roll backward to zoom instead of rolling forward?

yes, exactly.

I don't know if this works in 2004, but it does in later releases.

There is a system variable called zoomwheel.
Just type in "zoomwheel" (without the quotes) at the command line.

0 (zero) Moves wheel forward zooms in; moving wheel backwards zooms out.

1 (one) Move wheel forward zooms out; moving wheel backwards zooms in.

ZOOMWHEEL is an unknown command in 04

zoomwheel is an unknown command in 2006LT also. Sure would be nice to be able to change to suit.

Maybe the various programmers will eventually come to a consensus on which way all programs should zoom in/out with the wheel.

I'll not be holding my breath 'till it happens.

It is possible with a third party app called AutoHotkey

http://www.autohotkey.com/

You remap the keys with these line in the script...

WheelUp::WheelDown
WheelDown::WheelUp

(see the AutoHotKey documentation)

and there you go. BTW, the application does a lot of other things you may be interested in.
