way as you modify the values of position, camera, etc

Post by Víctor Paredes »

ok, this is my first serious feature request:

Image

in this place where you give the value, you only can writte the number (or move the object with the mouse), well, in most softwares you have these little arrows to choose the value in real time, so, if you want more or less, you press the arrows for a while.

another thing about this. when you move the object with the mouse, you know wich is the value just when you finish the movement. well, i think we must know the value in real time, while the object is moving (or the camera, or anything wich uses this)

this are little things, but very important i believe.

SELGIN! HI (HOLA) :) How are you?? (Qué tal ,eh?)Well... (bueno...) Jaja, ya paro... :roll: Have you tried to click with your Mouse (or Pencil) Left Button over the numerical boxes and drag left & right? You can too press at a time Caps or Ctrl keys to variate the value of the "jumps", I don't know if you are asking exactly for this or for another thing (cause it's something that you still should know! :P), but meantime I think/hope this solution (that I love) could be useful to you... CIAO SUPER-AMICHI! :)

thanks, ramón.
thanks, one problem less. lostmarble (and you) though this before me, as always.
but the second problem still there.

when you move an object, you know the value of the movement just when you finished the move.
why we can't see the values in real time? (is this a philosophical reason?)

Hummm... I kneew I was missing something... well, but as you can see using "Line Width Tool"(the last tool modified by LM) changes in real time as you (and I now :)) want, so it's not only possible to do but maybe too the NEW philosophy! :D

By the way! Another thing in relation with all this MLB and Numarical Boxes, I think I've probably comented it in other occasion, but well... What about an only one Undo per "Dragging MLB Click"? I mean, actually you Drag your Mouse Left Button to make a change by Numerical box steps, ok? and then if you want to Undo the change, you must make an Undo for each one of that steps... The result, if you make a BIG change (even not SO big), it's very probable that finally you don't have enough Undos... I think that the logical operation of this function calls a better Undo resolution, and this is easy: One Undo per Click intead per "Step" ...Bye!
