Windows Copy/Move and Screen Limits

[nicolas]

HI,

I have been using Windows Copy/Move by using ctrl+dragging any object (except the grids) or simply dragging the object. However, one limits I noticed so far is that I can't go beyond the actual screen. I have to move the objects twice/thrice in order when the destination is far away. This is not the case with the MOVE/COPY SELECTION command where I can pan. Is there any solution to the problem that I am missing?

Thank you in advanced,

Nicolas.

You should be able to use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out while dragging objects

Sorry for the late reply but with windows move/copy type, I can't zoom in/out with the mouse wheel at the same time. The objects only move/copy within the scope of the available display limit.

Correct you can't zoom when doing it this way. To be honest i would change the way you are doing it and use the COPY command this gives you more flexability and allows you to pan / zoom around your drawing whilst the command is active.

You could try using the Aerial View feature (command line: dsviewer). Refer to your Help file for more information.
