Hello All,

I was wondering if there is a setting on the ArcGIS side that allows control of zooms steps and mouse wheel clicks.  When I scroll one click I tend to go further in/out of my map than I like. I'd like to make that stepping a bit less course.

Is the above an ESRI setting or a mouse setting or neither?

Thank you.

GR

There is a windows mouse settings of number of lines to scroll, but it only turns down to 1 line. Tweaking it is worth a try.

Windows mouse setting wouldn't solve the issue. ArcGIS online would default back to 23 predefined zoom levels if you use your mouse wheel, shift + plus/minus key combo 

If you're using a device with touch-screen capabilities you can use your touch screen to custom zoom. (laptop touch-pads won't work either)

If you don't have a touch-screen the only other option you have is to use your internet browser's zoom settings to change the scale. Though this would disrupt any labels & symbology you have.

I haven't tried it but creating your own custom basemap with more than 23 zoom levels might work.

I hope that developers would introduce either a customizable zoom scale or at least more zoom levels for the default basemaps

I agree with this contributor! The solution proposed does not solve the problem, even when I only do 1 "line" of scrolling, my map goes from 1:900,000 to 1:600,000. I need it to be finer, and the Windows mouse settings are not menat for that. The software should have an adjustable "Zoom Factor" in the Map Navigation Settings. 

In ArcMap, the zoom increments where much finer, allowing a finer zoom....I figure this would come in ArcGIS Pro, and its surprising that this has not been implemented. ESRI, feel free to contact us for more information, as your solution misses the mark!
