Hi I have many dots and then I need to conect this dots with a line...what I do is to use the line command and connect the dots, but when I get to the end of the screen I need to do a pan move the screen and then come back to the line tools...what makes the work slow...so is there a way to move the screen with the line command active???? thanks!! |

Hey cadore,
When you get to the end of the screen, hold down the middle mouse button and drag in the direction that you want to pan. Hope that helps, nameci

As mentioned earlier I also agree that I never use Pan command to move the screen it can discontinue the current command , I generally prefer to scroll the screen or zoom in and zoom out through the scroll of mouse. Tom www.indovance.com |

Thanks nameci, so simple uh? So sad I didn't realize it by myself ;P I was using the zoom out/in procedure too but I myself find it kind of not productive when the objects you are working with are close to each other. thank you all. |
