Hi all
I was supriced when zoom from ex, from view 1 (active view) with zoom window from target view 2 didn´t zoom in target window area from view 2 to view 1.
Example from V8i
Work as I am used to works as I am used to in V8i
But in Connect edition it is like this ( nowhere near what I did in V8i):
The same function with zoom from one view from an another view don`t work i Connect edition, with the same user workflow.
WHY?

but that's not what he said:
Tom said:with zoom window from target view 2 didn´t zoom in target window area from view 2 to view 1.
He didn't write "didn't zoom in target window into View 2", whereas you seem to think he was trying to zoom into View 2, which he never wrote in his post, nor do any of the CONNECT screenshots show the Window Area dialog with Apply to Window set to View 2 either.

You wrote he was doing something wrong, yet see I nothing wrong in what he did (others have commented they do the same thing) and I'm wondering what you think he did wrong.

Toms post if you want that to work then set it as above and data point in active window 1 will zoom to or apply to view 2 per setting in dialog see his dialog he has the apply set to view 1 so all zooming will apply to view 1 not view 2 as he wanted it needs to be the apply window... so why are we going round in circles your example has the apply to dialog to view 1 so all zooms not matter which window will zoom to the apply window in your example view 1.. which is as the help and your example and is what I've been saying...
the apply window no dialog is where it will apply the resultant zoom in...

When you keyin the command in question in the search window. you will most often get the hint where your function can be found in different workflows of the ribbon. And lets you open the command directly as well... well most often
Yes, I also use one small view (8) as overview/navigation window to pick different areas
Resetting preferences. I have to do this rather often. I intermittendly do backups from the prefs. When will there be a better solution? I have heard lots of reasoning around the issue. Why it happens etc. This is more than a annoyance. See also in ideas.
