Panning in Sketch Mode

Panning in Sketch Mode

Is there a limit to how far you can pan in Sketch mode? I am often trying to pan around the edges of a sketch and it won't move (I get the bumpy ride like it pans to the edge and then snaps back....). Am I missing something basic here? (Note, this is not just a matter of "seeing" my geometry on screen, its when I try and zoom in for edits such as trims that it won't pan enough when zoomed to see all of the profile).

Thanks to all who help! If this is addressed in another thread or one of the help files that I might have missed, let me know.

I believe if you go to the options pull down and on the general tab unselect the "keep model in view" it should fix the problem.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............thank you very much. That's been bugging me for quite some time. I thought I'd scoured the options menus pretty well, but missed that one. Again, much thanks!

James - You're so on top of it! That's a great tip! I just have one question - when I zoom in so far - closer and closer - suddenly - it looses the focus point - the center of the zoom to window selection! - Any thoughts on that one? Robert

Robert I think the new patch may have fixed that problem, let me know after you have installed it.
