Depends. If you're on a PC, no. If you're on a Mac, you can use the 3D Editor or the BetterEditor to do things like this. The 3D Editor has a way to scroll quickly, but I'm not sure about the BetterEditor — I don't really use it. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

If you are a macintosh (mine is OSX so dunno if it will work for you) but when I am in 3D editor (haven't really done any editing but on 3D) hold the shift button and the direction on the keypad that you wish to go, and it will move you a distance, hold control and the direction and it will take you all the way across the current area in the direction that you press.

quote:You mean, you're in the northwest corner of the town, and you want to go to the southeast? To do this, press CONTROL-3 (3 on the numeric keypad). Scrolling all the way across the map is a standard feature. quote:None that I've ever found, sorry. However that makes me think that I shall implement something in my 3D Editor: OPTION-CLICK on a location to center on that location, in any mode of zoom. -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.

On PC, you can control- (or shift-) click on the corner to get to that part of the screen quickly. But no, no zooming is possible. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |
