[SOLVED ]How to zoom in/out without a mouse wheel?

Unity Courses Talk

I am at the point where we have just added the text element to the scene.

I can’t zoom in or out. If I double click on the canvas in the hierarchy it will bring me to the canvas but no handles appear to resize it. My mouse wheel does not zoom in and out like in the video. My mouse wheel just causes the layout to vibrate a little bit but the scale does not change.

This is making it pretty much impossible to position the text object. Double clicking only gets you highly zoomed on the canvas or highly zoomed on the text object. There is no in between.

I am using Unity 4.6.9 on Windows 10.

Help?

EDIT: I solved this by swapping out the mouse. I guess that was the problem. :slight_smile:

Hi @ChadTower,

If you are using a PC you can hold down the CTRL + Right-Mouse-Button and move the mouse, this zooms in and out. You can zoom in and out faster if you hold down Shift as well, e.g.
Shift + CTRL + Right-Mouse-Button.

It isn’t as easy as a scroll wheel however in my opinion.
