newbie question ... on zoom/Pan/ etc ..

Is there a way to throw a keyboard shortcut onto the pan/zoom .. I find it a
bit tedious navigating around a drawing.

thanks

 

Septemous,

Yes, you can create a keyboard short cut.
Tools/Customize/KeyBoard/View/Zoom (whatever)..(apply key)

Or use the space bar or pin the orientation pop-up on and apply named
views for specific areas you zoom too often.

Yes. Have a document open, then go to Tools/Customize/Keyboard/View/Zoom to
Selection and assign W for "window in." As for the pan, drag yourself
around with the middle mouse button. If you have a scroll wheel, you can
also zoom in & out with that, but it really doesn't work very well - at
least I haven't found the secret.

You don't like using the mouse wheel without needing the keyboard at
all? It take care of zooming and panning in drawings just by clicking
and moving the mouse to pan or rolling rolling the wheel to zoom at
cursor position. If you have a mouse without a wheel, you need to get
one ASAP.
