Affinity Designer Zoom to Center

[bobsagun]

Hello all,

This is my first time posting here. I just want to know if zooming in/out to center of an object is possible on Affinity Designer. I can't find a shortcut or command to do it but maybe I am missing something or doing this wrong. I attached a short clip to show what I mean. I draw series of circles in different sizes to test this and the result shows that it is not centered after multiple zoom levels.

It zooms to wherever your mousepointer is
Or double click the thumbnail(in the layerspanel) of the object you want to zoom into, to make it center and fill the canvas.
 

Thanks for your quick response Hens. I will try it again because that is what I really believe should happen but as you can see in the short clip it shift to different direction at multiple zoom levels.

It isn't absolute at the mousepointer position but is near enough.

The OP seems to zoom in purpose independently of the cursor position. For me on Mac the two ways to zoom independently of cursor position, 'Cmd +' and Navigator panel, both drift slightly when zooming with similar variation as in OP's screencast, noticeable also on the ruler by a certain value moving.

Like said,with the mousewheel it zooms at the pointer position(or at least near enough)
True that with ctrl(cmd)+- isn't zooming to center which indeed should be.
 

Point taken. Thanks guys. This will work for me on what I am trying to achieve. By the way, my first clip is zoomed using keyboard which I first thought the way to achieve this. With your response, I did test with the mouse and this is much better to do. I recorded my test also. Thanks guys.
