If I understand you correctly, this is similar to other major CAD programs that
allow you to grab the screen (usually by holding a modifier key) and drag it
around, as well as box select an area to zoom to?

Those are a useful tools I have used elsewhere (especially the drag feature).
I think, though, there are other features and fixes with higher priority I'd
like to see, first.

Never to diminish your ideas, I just feel blessed we have a very good program
available to stimulate creativity and model our ideas. It's quite functional
and has saved me a lot of time and money - I just pray it survives into the future...


First let me say I've only used a handful of CAD programs so what I'm
thinking may be completely misguided in the CAD world. But basically Yes, and
that feature does exist - hold the SHIFT Key and Left-Mouse Drag the screen around.
The same thing can be done holding Down the Mouse Wheel Button and Dragging
the screen (although on my mouse that doesn't work very well - but that's
just My mouse.) What I am thinking as another option - and I do think this would
need to be a select-able preference - is the behavior you see in a lot of the
online Map programs.

Here's an example: I'm Zoomed In on a portion of a model I'm working
on. I then Zoom Out (via Mouse Wheel) to see the whole model. I then move the
mouse to another portion that I want to start working on and Zoom back In (again
with the Mouse Wheel). Right Now I will just Zoom back In to the same place
I just Zoomed Out of. If the Zoom In follows where the Mouse is located, that
portion of the model would move more towards the center of the screen as I am
Zooming In. It would save the step of moving the screen (panning left/right/up/down)
before I Zoom In on the next place to work.

I'm basing this on the relative ease of navigating around different locations
on an online map.

I also Definitely agree with you that Studio is a Great program and I hope it
continues to grow and flourish. And I also agree that there are probably a lot
of other features that would/should come before this!

Secondly, along these lines, I would like to see a few more preferences saved
when I select a part. Specifically, a lot of times I have to click "More Options"
and I always have to select "Seller Location". I would like to see both of those
as saved options so I don't have to select them every time I bring up a new
part.

You can select location:

I Have found that setting in my wanted lists and that works well - thanks! I
would like to see that added to the Catalog/Parts screen when I pick a specific
part too. Just less clicking, I'm lazy!

  One preference that I think might be useful to add to Studio is the ability to
have the Viewpoint move towards where the Mouse is located as you Zoom In or
Zoom Out (using the mouse roller for example.)

Panning the screen does not work very well for me (my mouse roller button is
twitchy) which makes me have to Pan the screen using 2 hands. There may be a
good CAD reason Not to do this, but if you could move the mouse over an area
and have zooming in and out zero in on the location of the mouse, having that
preference I think that would be handy. Basically Mimic the way the big online
Map programs work.
