This could be the reason for the "weird" behavior, because you will suddenly get a lever arm from the center of the window and to the board local point. This will make the pcb move a lot compared to how much the cursor moves. Is this an artifact of a "beta" implementation of the space select point on the pcb or is that a design decision? > > Mario > ________________________________________ > From: Nick Østergaard [[email protected]] > Sent: 07 March 2016 15:13 > To: easyw > Cc: Mário Luzeiro; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Kicad-developers] Some new sweet features on the new 3D-Viewer > > Regarding pivot points, it seems to me that there is an other pivot > point some place behind the pcb, which make rotating it sort of > strange, at least after you have panned on the screen a bit.
