I am in the habit of using the mouse wheel to zoom opposite the way it works in Creo. Can I reverse this so it zooms in when the mouse wheel ir rolled up?

    Yes, you can, with an Autohotkey script such as following

    #IfWinActive, ahk_class Dialog

    WheelDown::WheelUp

    WheelUp::WheelDown

      This is interesting but I don't know what an Autohotkey is nor how to apply it. Also, can this be applied to Creo View too?

      It can be applied to any app or all particular apps, as long as the IfWinActive line is set correctly.

      For more info see this site AutoHotkey

        Also see this list of Mouse customization tools. (The AHK method Jakub mentions is also nice)

        If you are primarily a Creo or Pro/E user who now has to work with Catia then those hotkeys for Catia will be very usefull.

        Don't just download and run the exes, anything could happen to those on the way. Create a new file called for example catia.ahk and copy the code from the webpage, save it, click on RMB with it and choose Compile Script from the pop-up menu (this requires ahk to be installed on your computer). Then you'll have a portable exe file.

        If you don't wanna install ahk you can compile scripts using the portable ahk2exe compiler that can be downloaded here: AutoHotkey Downloads
