use of the mouse wheel to zoom in and out in icfb ic5

[adhil1986]

hi guys!!

I am trying to impliment a feature in icfb ic5 where the user is able to zoom in and out of a layout design using the mouse wheel, can anyone advise me on this, i really dont have any lead to start on this project.

thanks in advance
Adhil

I am a newbie to this site. I may not know exactly what you are asking. Are you referring to a similar action that can occur in AutoCad? Whereas the thumb-wheel action of your mouse zooms in/out?

Dear adhil:
I remember ic5141 has this feature. If not modify the .cdsinit or copy all the files in the $CDS_INST_DIR/tools/dfII/sample/local to $CDS_INST_DIR/tools//dfII/local and change the name of cdsinit to .cdsinit
Hope helpful

what's more, I find a few lines about the mouse wheel.

alias bk hiSetBindKey
when( isCallable('leGetEnv)
bk("Layout" "<Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"n\" nil)")
bk("Layout" "<Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"s\" nil)")
bk("Layout" "Shift <Btn4Down>" "geScroll(nil \"w\" nil)")
bk("Layout" "Shift <Btn5Down>" "geScroll(nil \"e\" nil)")
bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn4Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 2.0)")
bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn5Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 0.5)")
)

<Btn4Down> and <Btn5Down> correspond to rolling up and down the wheel.

thanks dannie, the code works, and implemented it into the .cdsinit file

To my opinion it will be better nstead of

bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn4Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 2.0)")
bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn5Down>" "hiZoomRelativeScale(hiGetCurrentWindow() 0.5)")

use

bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn4Down>" "hiZoomInAtMouse()")
bk("Layout" "Ctrl <Btn5Down>" "hiZoomOutAtMouse()")

In this case image will be zoomed to mouse cursor place (like in Google map)

hey!!!

i am also trying to use the stretch whilst zooming out of the layout, so that i can select the edges that i want from edges of polygons which are closely situated. the ic5 that im using does not handle zooming out and stretching at the same time, how can i fix this problem
