    Default Nudge and zoom in Version 5

    Hi there,
    I haven't long installed verion 5 but I've already found two things (that I use often) that are missing are not functioning.
    1. The nudge function doesn't seem to work.
    2. The Alt+z for a temporary zoom doesn't seem to work either.

    Is there something in the settings I need to adjust?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Zoom tool and Nudge haven't changed from Version 4.

    In version 5 the Nudge size entry box is in a new position, but still under the 'General' tab.
    Click image for larger version.

    Zoom tool still functions with these keys by default.

    Have you changed your key shortcuts?

    The Alt Z shortcut is for use in the Shape Editor where Z is the shortcut of changing a node to a cusp.

    'Z' is the cusp tool enabler only while the shape editor is selected.
    Alt+Z *toggles* (temporarily enables) the zoom tool from any tool you were using and back. Z selects the Zoom tool (unless the shape editor is already in use). Z being the default for Photoshop too.

    I have XXP5 and Alt Z brings up the zoom tool and then if you click, it zooms in. But I use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, left and right and up and down, not shortcuts.

    When I select an object, the "nudge" is working perfectly.

    Maybe you need to check your Options?

    Hi,

    I just installed v5, and my nudge is also not working. tried all the settings that i can get my hands on.. still to no avail. any ideas?

    in v4, my nudge will not work if i set my default unicode setting for windows XP to "Simplified Chinese" or "Traditional Chinese" but that went away when i moved onto Vista. Have not tried to set my default unicode to english.

    any ideas why is that so?

    thanks guys

    Wierd...
    I have a second login on my laptop (when connected to a client's server). In that login, the nudge and Alt+z work as expected. But in my "home" login it doesn't?
    I wonder if removing Extreme Pro 4 while in my "home" login had anything to do with the function of the these features (regedit settings or something)?
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Version 5 Pro but the problem still exists.

    Ahhhh... just thought about it... I did a "reset all" in the "Customize key shortcuts" and everything is now working correctly.
    Thank you everyone for your help. Just bouncing one's thoughts off another person does wonders for the brain
