When you let go of the alt button it switches to zooming in and out. You have to keep the alt button pressed while moving unless you want to switch to zooming in and out. I’m not the best expert or anything, but I can answer that one. Hopefully it makes sense to you.
I tried all move-brushes with different alphas in 4R6.2 but never got an effect of the alpha like in other brushes. The move- brushes always works if there would be no alpha activated.
Seems to be a bug that alphas don’t work with move-brushes. Or is this only a problem of my installation?

Hi I am having an issue with my hot keys, I have not tried changing any hot keys but for some reason my “Ctrl+Z” no longer does undo? I have been playing around with the UI by just moving some buttons around and adding a handful of brushes along the top for ease of access. It’s really frustrating having to manually click the undo button so any help or a link to a tutorial on setting custom hotkeys would be great!
Add the following lines to your StartupHotkeys.TXT file and see if it fixes it.
[EDIT:UNDO,634] // Ctrl+Z
[EDIT:TOOL:UNDO,634] // Ctrl+Z
[EDIT:REDO,890] // Ctrl+Shift+Z
[EDIT:TOOL:REDO,890] // Ctrl+Shift+Z
Thanks it worked however how do I get it to load that everytime ZBrush starts, I tried store hotkeys and saving config but it’s making me manually load that hotkey file each time I start it?
ps thanks for the fast response!
What’s your path to the StartupHotkeys.TXT file ?
Fixed! Thanks, hehe it was the one in the main install directory I changed not realizing there was a directory in My Documents 
Do you know of any tutes on setting up custom hotkeys too?
Thank you for the help!
I don’t think your going to find to many tutorials on custom hotkeys. You can try Youtube. See the following link also
http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/customizing-zbrush/hotkeys/
Thanks so much that was perfect! Just wondering though do you know what might have caused it to delete that hotkey for undo? I’m sure I didn’t mess with the hotkeys but if there was something I did I would like to avoid that hassle again
Your guess would be as good as mine. You would have to ask Pixologic that one. This has already happened in the last few versions and the go to fix was always what I posted above.
I did some searching through the forum but haven’t found this issue yet. I feel like I must be overlooking something quite easy.
I started using image planes and a transparent model to help with sculpting, but for some reason when I upload any image to a 2nd or 3rd view the image is very opaque. When I loaded the 3rd image in the 3rd view it was barely visible at all…
What could be causing this?
Can you show a few screenshots of the whole ZBrush interface when the problem happens? That would help us solve it.
Thanks,
Sorry for the late reply, it took a while for me to realize I misspelled my username when I created my account which lead to some login issues haha.
I ultimately fixed the issue by starting the project over from scratch (not too much of a problem because I didn’t do much work) but I’ll load some images for future reference.
You can see how opaque the second image plane is. When I loaded my 3/4 view it was almost invisible.
But again, I ended up fixing it by just creating the project from scratch. Is there anything that one of you notice that would have caused this so I can prevent it in the future. I’d hate to lose a whole project when I’m a good portion into sculpting.
OK, thanks, I’m glad you got it fixed. Not sure why you had the problem but I will look into it.
Incidentally, you should upgrade to 4R6 P2, see here: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?178981-Questions-amp-Troubleshooting-for-ZBrush-4R6-read-first-post-for-P2-Patch-instruction
I can’t seem to get my spotlight wheel to appear any longer. The icon has disappeared from the texture panel and doesn’t pop up when I select a texture from the lightbox. I’ve upgraded and ZBrush says that it doesn’t have any other updates available for me. Do I need to reinstall?
i am also having the same problem the tool geos completly blank and when i try to get it back the programme crashes has anyone found a solution to this problem
I had a very annoying image plane clipping issue - if you have ever experienced it this is the solution. load image for image plane and before you open your tool to sculpt, go to >Layer >Displace Z ( drag it to the right about twice. and now your model wont clip when your trying to get in close for finer details. Hope this helps someone !
I am getting the exact same error message, only I am receiving it when attempting to open Zbrush 4R6. Its troubling, because i didnt have any problems with 4R6 (none that i was aware of) unti i recently had to restore my mac book from a time machine backup that was over a year old 
basically, after the restore was done, zbrush just wouldnt launch anymore, so i deleted it and reinstalled 4, reactivated 4, then contacted support for my 4R6 download link, and now whenever i launch 4R6, i get the same “File Write Error” you’re receiving, but i can run 4 just fine. i dont know what to do, im on my second try of deleting/reinstalling zbrush 4R6
Every time I use Brush ClipCurve appears in place a wide cut edge, already tried using other cutting tool, but they do not serve me because closing the gap .
How to fix it?
Obs.: These brushes worked perfectly in 4R5.
Follows pictures .
Normal
ClipCurve
Other Cut Brush
I just tried to auto-update ZBrush 4R6, and I got and error that reads: “The program can’t start because mscvcr100.dll is missing. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”
After clicking “ok”, another dialog box pops up, reading: “ZScript note: specified execute-file could not be found: [FileExcecute,gUpdaterDll,TestAutoUpdateAvailable,gCheckerPath]”
Any way to fix this?
