Holding down the middle scroll wheel
puts you into Real-Time Pan mode and is very nice for doing the final
adjustments to a view. This can be done transparently, while a command
is active, or by itself. As you hold down the scroll wheel and move
the mouse, the view follows and when you let go of the button, panning
stops.
I've seen many users do the "row
boat" motion with the scroll wheel to pan around their drawing. Click,
hold, release, click, hold, release, over and over again. A really
cool trick for panning in Real-Time mode, without having to use the "row
boat" method, is to hold down the Shift + Control key combination while
holding down the scroll wheel. This allows the panning to continue
without having to let go of the scroll wheel. Hold down Ctrl+Shft and
left-click and hold on the scroll wheel. Move the mouse, very
slightly, in any direction while holding and watch what happens.
Real-Time Walk-Through is what it looks like to me. Try zooming into
the bottom left corner of a floor plan and then use this Real-Time
Walkthrough trick to pan through the entire drawing. Be careful not to
move the mouse too much in any given direction, the panning accelerates as
you move closer to the edge of the screen.
This same Real-Time Walkthrough can
be replicated in an Internet Explorer window while viewing a web page.
Without holding down the key combination, hold the scroll wheel and pan.
Sure beats trying to slide those sliders on the side or bottom of a page.
Try it, you'll like it!
