I have just installed 0.79, used it side by side with my 0.75 and looked at my workflow.
It has to do with the fact that for piece insertion I always Drag&Drop from the part list and I mostly insert parts by dragging towards another part so the new one will be on top of it. If I do this with Switch to Move off, the part I just inserted will not be selected. The other one will (along with a bunch of unrelated parts for some reason), because the mouse was hovering over it when I released the mouse button. So I guess it's not the fact that it switches to move that's important for me, but rather the fact that the new part is selected. Sometimes the new part will even be obscured by or coincide with existing parts. Right now I can just insert the new part above a nearby part and start pressing the arrow keys to move it to its final position. Without Switch to Move, I would need to move parts out of the way to get to it again. I guess I need to modify my question: wouldn't it make more sense to always have the new part selected after inserting it? --- Leonardo Zide <[email protected]> schrieb am Sa, 19.1.2013: Von: Leonardo Zide <[email protected]> Betreff: Re: Switch to move after insert An: "Jan Steiner" <[email protected]> CC: [email protected] Datum: Samstag, 19. Januar, 2013 23:43 Uhr I wasn't planning to add it back, I think the new arrows are a good replacement to having to switch between insert/move/rotate but I'm interested to hear why you don't like them. One of the complaints that I sometimes get is that having to switch to a different actions all the time is very inefficient so I've been adding alternatives to the action buttons.

I find it incredibly useful. JMS _______________________________________________ Leocad mailing list [email protected] https://list.gerf.org/listinfo/leocad
