Annoying setting in 3d studio max
Since reinstalling 3d studio max, everytime I use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, the view stays fixed onto the exact centre of the viewport, whereas before, I could use it to zoom out from 1 point, move the cursor to another point, then use the mousewheel to zoom to the new point.
This was handy for when I had multiple objects in a scene. As it is now, I have to manually drag the scene with the hand tool in the bottom right of the page.
How do I set it so I can use the mouse wheel to zoom from one object to another.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I couldn't think of a better way of wording it. Any of you use the mousewheel to zoom in and out, and from one object to another, you will understand what I mean.
Thanks in advance.

I've only just installed it, I was thinking more along the lines of there being something in the general program configuration that would fix it.

nevermind, I've fixed it.

The same thing happens to mine but I just accepted that it was the way it was until I saw Drews reply. This inspired me to search the configuration tabs until I found the solution and here it is.
Click the ' Customise' Menu
Click ' Preferences'
Click the ' Viewports' tab
In the ' Mouse Control' area, tick the ' Zoom About Mouse Point (Orthorgraphic) box
and thats all there is to it.
My first reply with a solution!  Well im happy anyway.
Hope this works for you.

Me again, I do have to say that this setting doesnt seem to affect the perspective viewport though, that still zooms in on the centre of the viewport. Cant help there.

Yeah, that's how I fixed it, got fed up of it doing it, so did the same as you, went through the customise>prefs section and changed things, then see what noticable effect it had.
As for the persective viewport not doing it, I'm not too fussed about that, I usually make changes in the other 3 views, then see what it looks like in perspective.
