disabling mouse wheel in maya

short little tip for today. The mouse wheel to zoom/dolly in Maya is a pain in the butt. To turn it off is really simple. Just go to your preferences (bottom right corner above the script editor button) and go to
interface and down at the bottom is a little switch to turn off the mouse wheel.

or if like me you love a little MEL script the command is or:

mouse -enableScrollWheel false;

or to turn it back on:

mouse -enableScrollWheel true;
