Still very new to Carrara, but the zoom function seems awkward. I use a cad program that zooms with the +/- keys and it zooms in on wherever the cursor is placed at the time. It is like a zoom/pan in one keystroke and is very useful efficient. Yes, the zoom window is similar, but still not as efficient and i cant find the way to zoom out as quickly then instantly change the view and be zoomed back in in 2 strokes! Wonder if this is any help?
