Dear Warren,
If you use a Wheel Mouse you can zoom and pan while using a tool, for
example digitizing a line. So this is a sort of external non-tool zoom and
pan.
The only problem I face is that when you use the wheel the map window
empties somehow for some part and will only be redrawn once you use the tool
again. However, this could be a problem just on my machine, or a bug in MI
4.5 which I use.
At least give a wheel mouse a try, if you haven't, and see if you feel
comfortable.
Cheers

Betreff: Re: MI Q. and another 'why?'......
Hello Andy,

> controls? There is no means to just set SNAP on forever... but why not?
There is some logic to it. When a user changes active tool, the new tool may
not have any need
for snap (such as zoom and pan). It could be thought of as a mode within a
tool, rather than a
persistent mode in Pro. Once you get used to Pro's behaviour, a quick stab
of the 'S' key is no
big deal.
One of the items in my own wish list which was presented to MI recently was
the ability to zoom
in and out while staying within a particular tool. ie. a non-tool based
zoom. This would be really
handy when tracing polygons, etc. to ensure that start/end points are where
they should be. If MI
took this suggestion on, you might be able to eliminate the need to change
to the zoom/pan tool
and snap would never auto-deactivate.
