Dolly in Maya 4.5 has different controls why :thumbsdow
It really makes me crazy !

I was very happy with maya 4.5 until I found out that the dolly function has changed it's controls. Normally you would dolly in and out with LMB + RMB and move left and right. Now it's the same but it also works with up and down.

Now here is the problem : I used to move diagonal to dolly in and out. Now when I move diagonal it does nothing!!. Wacom tablet users will experience this as a problem more often than mouse users. Please is there a way to get my old controls back ?

Thanks for your help,
The problem is not the keys but the direction of the movement. It's a problem in maya 4.5 not in 4.0
To my knowledge there is no way to change the default behavour. My only complaint to alias wavfront is: If it ain't broke don't fix it. They fixed what they thought was a problem whithout the possibility to go back to the previous controls. To me that is bad usabilty.

Did anyone else have problems with this ?

In the hypershade when you zoom in it's middle mouse + Left mouse button + alt. and by moving left and right you zoom in and out. in maya 4.0 this same behaviour was used in the viewport. I really liked it that way.

but now in mayaz 4.5 the controls have this added up and down zoom function, wich disables the diagonal zoom. English is not my native language , I hope anyone undertands what I mean.

Did you view the movies in the beginning of Maya 4.5?? Try the right mouse button...not the left + middle mb's.

did u try alt+LMB+MMB ?? that is the same as 4.0...in 4.0, alt+LMB+RMB does nothing

if u mean up and down is the PAN....then that is alt+MMB....which works just fine on my comp

new to 4.5....alt+RMB is also Dolly....but the original shortcuts(alt+LMB+MMB) do not seem to be differant.

tip: ever use SHIFT in conjuction to the alt+LMB or alt+MMB in the viewports??

another tip: ever used alt+control+LMB and then drag select object....once u do that....do it again but drag in the opposite direction
