(...) I like the idea of absolute based on the zoom. So, at 100% zoom, 100 pixels will rotate it x degrees. At 50% zoom, 100 pixels will rotate it by x/2 degrees. Just my idea. I don't know if it would actually be nicer or not. James (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) What am I saying. At 50% zoom, 100 pixels will rotate it by x*2 degrees. So basically, the same "perspective" drag distance will rotate it the same. Don't know if this is a good idea or not. James (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

The update rotates much more predictably. Here are some movies of the 2 different version. In the old version, a slight mouse movement flips the model quite a bit. In the new version, the model doesn't move so much. Both of them show the pointer. I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Not really, but the technique used in LEDIT is to center the view on a part and then zoom, if I remember the tutorial correctly. I might consider adding a key to switch the left mouse button to drag out a zoom rectangle. Someday. Don (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
