ArcReader zoom on scroll

[DaveMcPherson]

It has always seemed counter-intuitive to me the way ESRI implement the default mouse scroll direction to be forward-roll, zoom out. However, every Desktop app, including ArcMap, ArcScene, ArcGlobe, ArcGIS Explorer and ArcReader, have always had an option somewhere in the Customise or Options menu to change this behaviour to forward-roll, zoom in.

Until recently, that is. This option has now been dropped from ArcReader since one of the early 10.x releases, and is driving me and my users nuts.

Can we please have this back?

Amen! I recently started using ArcReader and I'm amazed this isn't an option. Please help a CAD native navigate this new world. scroll up = zoom in

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
