Tim Saunders Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------- SHORT TITLE FOR SUGGESTION/BUG/ENHANCEMENT REQUEST ---------------------------------------------------------------- Pan with Roller Wheel on mouse while in a commandm --------------------------------------------------------------- DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST --------------------------------------------------------------- Many applications such as AutoCAD and Sketchup allow you to draw a line (or do another command) and while you are still in that command, you can pan by pressing down on the roller wheel. That is how you pan in Max too. However, it sucks that in Max, if you are in a command, like drawing a line for instance, and if you try to pan by pressing in on the roller wheel, you are kicked out of the command. Why would that have ever been part of the programming? --------------------------------------------------------------- WHY THIS REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO YOU --------------------------------------------------------------- Because i is WAY faster than pressing "I" to move around as you are zoomed in an area, or zooming in and out as you draw lines.

Ricardo Eloy Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 That's one I've shouted a lot since Max 1... but, for some reason, at some point, I simply realized I didn't care as much and forgot about it... It's weird how we simply get used to certain things... Anyway, you have my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba989 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Second the "i" key, will centre you view around the cursor, same thing as panning basically just not as smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis.cho Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 yeah the i key is great but for big shapes its just not instictive. The pan on the wheels is the best method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hunt Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 you can sort of pan with the roller wheel. Use the roller wheel to zoom in and out, just be sure not to click the wheel otherwise you'll be kicked out of the command. Also set the zoom arounf pointer option in the preferences jhv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
