Hello,
I'm new to V8i SS3 and I'm trying to do something that worked in V8 2004. In one View window I could tentative a point and then move my mouse into any of my other views and use my mouse scroll button to zoom in on the tentative point. I haven't figured out a way to do this in V8i. Please help if you know how to do it. I don't remember having to set up anything special in V8 2004.
Thank you.
Hi Lorys, yes I did. It did not do what I was looking for it to do. Thank you for your suggestion.
ok but you got to work with what you got ... try open two views, make them fit if you only have one monitor, in one view use the window area tool in your main zoomed out view now when you do the first point even with tentative and then data you get a dialog that asks what view to apply your selected area to a nominated view window to if you select the view number for your second view the equivalent of a zoomed in view centered in the middle of the shape from main view in the second view and you have a cursor in both views and you can scroll zoom in view 2 and if you pan view 2 you see the cursor move in view 1 so you know where you are not happy go back to view 1 and continue until you need to zoom in again so repeat the process.... birdview just made it easier to do... the original SE version was better as it worked exactly like you wanted and even set the original object view flashing or where the cursor was kept running along and flashing ... I remember it but not as clearly as I'd like... it was along time ago...

Hi TZM,
The key-in Window Center allows you to do what you are asking.
It asks you to "Select new window center" by data pointing in your source view and then prompts you to "Select view" by data pointing in your destination view. Reset once to pick another source point or reset twice to exit the Window Center command completely.
I have this assign to a function key to keep it handy.
Regards,Ron
Cool tip.
Do you get this note also after the first data point? Tool still works fine though.
~HTH

yep
I am usually in 3D files, so I haven't seen that note. I don't know why it would be 3D-only and apparently it isn't, since it works fine in 2D.
