Topic: Is there a "center video" function key?

HI to all,

Is there or is it possible to set a key (e.g. "c or C") that can center the video in the pointer while maintaining the zoom?
It would be an easy way to move within the diagram from one point to another (for example when drawing a line), when the zoom is up (detail grid).


in the attached screen the cad diagram is centered with the mouse position when I press the "c" key...

Use the wheel of your mouse : scroll, hold click and move mouse etc...

Re: Is there a "center video" function key?

hi, Laurent


Seem a stupid question, but it's not.

Those who know CAD and use it often know how useful these separate commands are.
Some CADs use pan-zoom which automatically centers when the snapped object goes off screen, many allow you to set commands like "c/C", "i/I", "o/O" for center, zoom/in, zoom/reduce etc.
The pressed click is used to keep the object or the line hooked... the separate commands allow you to move from one area to another in a simple and fast way.

In QE, to create a link or move an object, with a high zoom (for detail), a movement of the mouse wheel takes the object out of video view.
So you have to zoom out to find it again and then work in full screen...


Ok, I get it, that's it.
