Re: [PEDA] Annoying movement behaviour in PCB Editor
Also, while on this point, in PCB editor holding down the right hand mouse button allows you to scroll around the screen, but not in the Schematic editor, why is this? Is there a way round it? Steve When zoomed in on a PCB design, and then selecting an option such as measure distance, if I move the curser too quickly to the edge of the screen, protel seems to take ages to catch up with the curser. This can get very annoying, as if you move the curser in the other direction to stop the movement, protel takes ages to change direction, and then starts to move the screen very slowly in the other direction, but it always goes further than I want. Its hard to explain, but hopefully you all get the picture!! Its probably something to do with my mouse set-up, and nothing to do with protel, but it doesn't do it with any other programs. I'm using a Logitech Cordless Track Man Wheel, if it is the mouse ok, but if not is there any way to adjust the scroll options of Protel?

Re: [PEDA] Annoying movement behaviour in PCB Editor
I didn't mean that second part for you specifically; it was just part of my train of thought to all the people that complain about this or that being slow: panning, autorouting, saving and loading of files. So anyway you got my point about the PCB being able to right button pan but the schematic can't do it. It woud be nice if it could.

Re: [PEDA] Annoying movement behaviour in PCB Editor
OK then, what machine did you used to use, and what are you using now. That was my thought when I replied, without actually asking.so that I could do a rough comparison to see if my machine is causing the problem. I've sort of got a solution to the schematic pan, but it's not practical unless you've got the same mouse as me, as I can program the scroll button so that when pressed, I can pan around the screen. But it's not as good, or fast as the PCB method!

Re: [PEDA] Annoying movement behaviour in PCB Editor
I think when I started the P99 stuff (I've been a user for way longer than that, but only the P99 is relevant to this) I was using a Celeron 300 or possibly a PII-166. I now have an Athlon 900, 768MB RAM, A fast 60GB IBM drive, and a Geforce2 video card. All this stuff is cheap now and it damn fast.

I didn't see this mentioned yet... in Tools | Preferences | Options, there are 'autopan options', one of which is speed; you could try adjusting that, or the 'style' see if it helps. -Original Message- From: Stephen Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 1:52 AM When zoomed in on a PCB design, and then selecting an option such as measure distance, if I move the curser too quickly to the edge of the screen, protel seems to take ages to catch up with the curser. snip * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
