a question on LEdit.  Didn't see the answer in the faq or readme:

Is there a way to pan the screen?  In other words, after making a
particular component to a model i'm working on, can i move the screen
left, right, up, or down with a key to start somewhere else?  Or do i
have to always have a piece i'm inserting selected to move around?  Or,
another way to put it, if i have several components to a model in one
dat file, how can i move around the "desktop" to see all the components
(without simply zooming out)?

I like making different parts of a model (i.e. drive train, steering
mechanism, etc...) in one dat file so i can see them all individually
before putting them together.  It just seems kinda cumbersome right now
trying to move around to see different parts.

thanks in advance,

(...) If you don't want to use View:Centre-Set, you can hit O, and X,Y, or Z, then a number (in LDraw units) to change the offset of the origin. You may need to hit E afterwards to rease and redraw the screen. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad)
