Cats, I envy your ability to understand and use script. I struggle with the GUI, and think how you guys would chuckle when I tell my wife I'm "programming". LOL

I use the default (I think) F10 key for Independent Mouse Mode, which essentially makes the mouse cursor disappear off screen. I know exactly what you mean -- that little white cursor has a way of placing itself exactly in the most distracting position possible. I have a separate mouse button assigned to toggle it on/off for that reason, but I imagine F10 could be sequenced before and after the zoom to activate/deactivate the mouse.

Thanks for this Snapper!
I'll check it out and sequence it.

Also, I'm going to explore script to revert the view to the default 70 degree position then back off x number of moves to give me a slightly wider field of view but not as wide as the default wide - as a quasi snap-view of 50 degrees.

Re: programming, I'm no programmer so what I do is create the file in the basic Target Gui. Then I select the button "view script" I think it's called (bottom middle left on Gui) then I save that as a txt file or . . . copy it, then open up the Script Gui and paste it in there either from my direct copy or open the txt file and copy in from there.

Then, I can go into the line items that are easily identified and tweak the settings through trial and error and using the manual as a guide.

But, as you can see, sometimes I look to hard for the sequence and all the time Matt had it in it's basic format.

cheers.
