Re: reversing the mouse wheel direction for zoom ?

Well, I will wait for that option to materialize :) It's not critical, don't get me wrong. 'Zoom to mouse', while being an useful feature, has nothing to do with the mouse wheel direction and appears to be an option for 3D view only (main view), the editor is working that way already (or so it seems...

reversing the mouse wheel direction for zoom ?

Is there an option to reverse the zoom direction when using the mouse wheel ? Currently it is counterintuitive and in reverse than usual in most other programs (at least on Windows). I zoom in the wrong direction mostly at each wheel rotation, only to realize milliseconds later the fault and rotate ...

Grid offset does not work

Trying to set whatever offset to the Grid Size dialog when editing a face, does nothing and the offset number is not retained (shows 0 again at next dialog open).

Cutout warning with no apparent reason

For some reason, a small circle cutout placed in a safe area gives Warning – Minimum Metal Thickness. At the same time, several other identical cutouts, placed around the one in question, are perfectly fine. See these files: • this design gives two warnings, for two cutouts placed on each side of th...

how gets masked a stud on anodized aluminium front panel ?

Suppose I specify aluminium for front panel on whatever U rackmount enclosure, without handles. Apart from the standard 5 studs that fixes with the rest of the enclosure, suppose I want to add also some custom studs.

Metal Type for front plate when choosing Rear Bend Rackmount ?

When choosing Rackmount for a new design, I can select the Front Panel Metal Type. However, when choosing Rear Bend Rackmount, this option does not exist. This is a limitation of the program, or a manufacturing limitation ? If the former, how can I specify – for example – Aluminium ? And a collatera...

what is the thickness of the painting ?

Assuming a standard steel rack case (whatever U size), when calculating the Y position for some side cutouts that depends on internal spacers or fixings placed on the case base, I need to involve the chassis metal thickness value of that case base (that is, the case itself). This is specified in the...

Re: issues with Mini USB cutout

I deleted the local library culprit file, I re-synchronised the library and yes, now everything is back to normal. On this occasion I noticed something peculiar: if I do whatever standard cutout (say, a circle) and move the cutout over a red exclusion zone, a popup warns me about the overlap; howeve...
