Options Bar and the Mouse Wheel Zooming

In past releases we needed to be careful about using the mouse wheel button to zoom in and out after entering a value on the options bar, in particular with Revit MEP users. When we selected a duct or pipe and set the dimensions on the Options Bar and then rolled the wheel on the mouse the dimension values changed instead of zooming in or out in the view.

I am happy to report that I’ve observed this is fixed in 2014. When entering an offset value for walls though the Options Bar still keeps the focus so it is necessary to use the "pan with the mouse in the view" trick to return the focus to the drawing window.

Revit 2012 Update - What's Fixed

When I mentioned the availability of the new update the other day there wasn't the usual "list of stuff we fixed" to go along with it. I can sympathize, it takes a lot of effort to compile that stuff. As a contributing author, blogger etc... it takes time to put things together. I think Mark Twain is credited (although variations are attributed to a good many others) with saying, "If I had more time I'd have written a shorter letter". Even this little post has taken more time that it might seem. Here's the links to the PDF files:
