Author Zoom Bug in AI CS?

2004-02-03, 9:28 pm

In PS 7, Ctrl- and Ctrl+ works as it should for zooming in and out. In AI
CS (30 Demo) the Ctrl+ does not work, only Ctrl-. This is on Windows XP
with SP1, AMD XP1800+, 768MB Ram.

Had a quick look at the Adobe forums but didn't see anthing there. Anyone
else ever see this?

I meant to say a 30 *DAY* demo, nonetheless, it's available at Adobe.

Just a thought, but is that key combination taken globally by anything else
on your machine? Probably just a demobug but it happened to me with AI and
some key combination once.

Not that I'm aware of... if I did I assume it would also interfere with PS
7. Like you say, it may be a demo bug.

I remember reading somewhere the Adobe disabled some ctrl shortcuts in demo
versions to irritate anyone who tried to use a demo with an illegal serial
number.

disables it... Also, this is a perfectly legit copy, I just DL'd it

Oh I know that, and on occasion it is tempting to look for a hack, but I
just can't afford (and don't want to) do something stupid....

I only wish I was this smart when I was in my teen's !! LOL

That's quite odd. Take a look at the keyboard shortcuts dialog and see
what it says for that functionality...

I cannot remember if it was Flash MX 2004 or Illustrator I had the same
problem - I am pretty sure that it was Illustrator CS

I remember how to solve the problem: Goto the
keyboard-shortcut-definition-option and change the CTR++ to CTRL++ but
instead of using the +-symbol beside 0 and above P use the +-symbol above
Enter and below - (minus) in the Num Keyb

That worked for me :D and I am pretty sure it was Illustrator CS

Thanks Paul,

Thats exactaly what it was. Being accustomed to using the + / - on the
keypad in Photoshop, I naturally thought worked that way in AI :-)

Hi Paul,

He is missing the Photoshop shortcut of zooming in (in Windows, in Mac it
resizes the image's window) with the following shortcut: Ctrl. and the + sign on
the numerical keyboard.

In InDesign it works too zooming in into the artboard. It is not operative by
default. There is some reason to complain though.

Regards
Federico Platón
