Regarding Hand Tool in work plane

Hello,

I am trying to design a complex and very minute pattern in micro-meter scale on a work plane but I am not able to figure out how to move the plane while working, I need to zoom in and out again and again to move it.

Is there any "Hand Tool" which I can use to move the plane?

I am facing a similar problem. While working on geometry in micrometers I need to zoom in and out while drawing an object. If that is not done, object created is not solid (polygon created is not solid).

Hi

have you tried to turn off the "respect axis scaling" in the View subnode "axis". this is often handy when working with mems type structures.

Also what I do, I add a few views, and in the different I add hide entities or objects (for geometries) then its easier to work on the different parts, the scale is a bit odd, and its not very usefull to chekc meshings like that, therefore I lieve the first default view in "default" settings, and you just click on the view and its there (there are somethig to define user views too, never used it check the videos and doc)

Finall ,all plots can be referred to particular views (and/or Results - views nodes) , by default the main node setting is set to "automatic" = current active view, but you can refer to your preferred one

Good luck

Can you please attach an example model for me to understand...That would help me.
Attach a MEMS structure if possible.

Thank You.

Hi
take a look, this is for 2D, its almost the same in 3D
