Hi Derek!
My views on this matter:
First, I think the copy/paste process should not do any panning or zooming at all!
Why should it? It's only confusing.
If the paste gets 'lost', it's selected anyway, so a find selection would find it right away.
Else, I think you should rely on the users ability to keep track of pasted objects..
As somebody pointed out, preserving scale is the crucial point here.
As for the Find Selection function, I think the only option needed (and very much so) would be to choose between pan and pan/zoom.
The zoom should of course work equally for all kinds and groupings of objects.
But please, even if the setting doesn't find it's way into the UI, make it programmable so I can make a button to switch zoom on and off without having to hack the registry.
Still on the subject - previous versions of MI Pro had only one Find Selection, with the shortcut Ctrl+G.
Now that shortcut performs a Find in the current window only, and Find in all windows has no shortcut at all.
This was an unnecessary change in the UI, and I had to help one user rewrite the mnu-file in order to restore that shortcut to its previous functionality.
Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E
