Hi
Zoom works fine here with either newest MacMouse ( pad ) or tablet scrollwheel ( Wacom Graphire4 )
Perhaps you missed it was changed to ctrl-"wheel" since a while ? Plain wheel is ratation now.

Thanks for your reply; I bought my latest Mac last summer, so I have the latest Mac mouse. I know the ctrl+ or _ function, which I am using since I can't zoom directly with my mouse anymore. Left handed i work with a Wacom tablet, where I can also zoom with the scrollwheel, and right handed i work with the mouse and keyboard combined. My workflow was really accustomed to zooming with the mouse directly, but now it only rotates, like you say. But I am used to rotate pressing ALT right handed an then use the wacom pen, which works really well. Zooming directly with the mouse would prevent constantly moving my hand to the right side of the keyboard and thus would prevent a lot of strain on the shoulder, since I am working 10 hrs 7 days a week....

I also know the ctrl wheel function, but I find it equally straining because you have to hit the mouse and keyboard simultaneously. That would be fine with other functions, but not for zooming, which is done constantly.

I Hope there will be a way to customize this, even if it would mean a special script or something...…Paul
