Screen Centering when "zooming" in on print table

Postby BowserMFG » Wed May 16, 2018 7:25 pm

I am new to the Solus printing and had been using a Projet 1200 with Geomagic soft ware.
So my question is when placing items on the print table and attaching supports how can I zoom in and re-center the table in the screen?
The Geomagic had the ability to scroll the screen up down left & Right to re acquire the build table after zooming in on the screen.
The Solus Contour software lets me zoom in but after just a small amount of zooming the print is off the screen.
Is there a command to recenter the screen while keeping the zoom?

Hold down shift and right key and you can center it like you want.

Holding the shift key and using the mouse or arrow keys moves only the print objects in relation to the print bed.
I want to move the entire screen view up down and left right.
I print very small items that are typically only 1cm cube.
In order to place supports I need to zoom in quite a bit but the table and print items fall off the bottom of the screen as you zoom in.

Something is wrong. Do you have a 3 button mouse? Holding the middle mouse button lets you pan the view.

That was the problem.
I was just using the scroll wheel to zoom in.
Holding the Scroll wheel down as a button and then moving the mouse lets me move the the screen center where I need it.

Thanks!
