Now I have been using autoCAD for a while, and while I first was very much annoyed with it's behaviour, I now think it's superior. It's simple... the mousewheel zooms by default. I zoom out turning it towards me and in, rotating it away. It's crutial that it zooms in, right where the cursor points! Well... to navigate on the canvas you zoom out, drag the canvas (pressing middlebutton) and zoom in. This is very efficient, and the best way to navigate on the canvas, I have used so far, as soon, as one is a little used to it.
Also compare RFE [ 950537 ].
What do you think? Is the rendering to slow, maybe? Has any of you experience with this kind of navigation? And: could it be implemented, either as default (it's a very good default!) or as an option? Also: should I file an RFE?
I've used a similar interface in Corel Draw, and with the rather complex drawings I was dealing with I found that the speed of redrawing after a zoom made it more annoying than useful. Maybe if it was quicker it would have grown on me, but with a complex enough drawing there is always delay in rendering it at a new zoom.
