Yes this is a great idea IMO. it really does stop you needing to do a second command/movement to pan the screen. and you can quickly scrollwheel in and out to reposition your screen.<br><br>I suggested it a while ago, and the response then was that it is confusing, and some people preffered it how blender does it. Althought everyone thinks its evil to have user prefs..... i think this is something that could be slipped in there with the other user controls.<br><br>Doug Ollivier<br>

Subject: [Bf-funboard] Zooming to mouse position<br>
Sent: 03 Apr '07 12:05<br>
<br>
Hello all!<br><br>I wanted to ask for your opinion on the following idea:<br><br>What about making the mouse wheel (or zoom routine in general) rather zoom to the mouse cursor position, and not to the center of 3d-view?<br>
<br>So to say panning and zooming combined. I think this will improve workflow, because you don't have to keep shift pressed all the time for panning view, just zoom in and out using the mouse wheel. (kinda mouse gesture, without using keyboard)
<br><br>Although I'm no good programmer I think it wouldn't be too hard to write. Just calculate the distance between the mouse cursor and the center of 3d view (area), and pan the view by that value. Same with zooming out, only working the other direction.
<br><br>Feedback is appreciated<br><br><br></knittl89@googlemail.com><div style="margin-left: 40px;">cheers, knittl<br></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>damn ass mega nerd, knittl<br>-- <a mce_real_href="http://myftphp.sf.net" target="_blank" href="http://myftphp.sf.net">myftphp.sf.net</a><br><br><a mce_real_href="http://penny-arcade.com/comic" target="_blank" href="http://penny-arcade.com/comic">
