zoom in/out/center pan

[rookie37]

Is there a way to replace the scroll wheel with the keyboard?

 

I was thinking of using the keypad. Can this be written as transpearent?

 

defun 8 pan up

defun 4 pan left

defun 2 pan down

defun 6 pan right

defun 9 zoom out

defun 3 zoom in

defun 5 zoom center

 

This would be a great help to me. I think it would be a great help to MANY people. just check out the thread about mouse pain. It is a very popular thread.

 

panning, zooming and wrist movement that can be replaced with a keypad will greatly reduce mouse pain

Here are some modifiers I added for CTRL-ARROW_KEYS to pan around the drawing. I added this to our menu files. You can go from there for your own keys.

 

***ACCELERATORS
[CONTROL+"UP"]'-pan ^P(trans (list 0 (* -0.25 (getvar "viewsize"))) 0 1) ;^P
[CONTROL+"DOWN"]'-pan ^P(trans (list 0 (* 0.25 (getvar "viewsize"))) 0 1) ;^P
[CONTROL+"LEFT"]'-pan ^P(trans (list (* 0.25 (getvar "viewsize")) 0) 0 1) ;^P
[CONTROL+"RIGHT"]'-pan ^P(trans (list (* -0.25 (getvar "viewsize")) 0) 0 1) ;^P

Can this be done without hitting control?

 

I tried changing [CONTROL+"UP"]'

to

["UP"]'

didn't work

I am sure AutoCAD only allows these with "modifiers". Those are ALT or SHIFT or CTRL. This may help

Thanks foe your help!

 

I'm almost there. I'm using accelerators on the numberpad

 

However, I'm having trouble with zoom center

 

below sort of works but it isn't practicle

 

["NUMPAD5"]'zoom;c;/;;;

 

How do I write it without the pause for user input?

You would probably have to tell it where center is (calc first), and then magnification/height.
