Hello,

I've been using Stardraw in and out for the last 20 years now (shuttle CAD in the early days) and I'm happy to discover the new environment of SD7.

However as I go through it, a few questions pops up. I though it could be usefull for the community to have them raised in the forum for everybody's knowledge.

1 Zoom - mouse wheel interaction

As I was working with some drawing, I discovered various state for the mouse wheel:

1 Wheel zoom in and out

2 Wheel controls the up-down lift

3 Wheel controls the left-right lift

The 1st state is surely what I would have expect as normal control for the wheel. The two other states just happened without me having a clue of what I did to end up there or to go back to state 1.
Could we have any information of how to toggle between these states?

2 Dashboard wish list

1 As I was drawing, I felt the need to rearange a few elements of my drawing but wanted to keep of copy of the work as done. Similar situation would appear as you are working onto a new revision of a drawing but needs to keep track of the previous versions.
I would have loved to find a rightclick function allowing me to create a new drawing based onto the one selected.
Currently you can open a new drawing and past all the elements of the previous one into it, this is a bit heavy. This process doesn't affect the product list.

2 As more and more drauwing are created into my project, I felt the need of organising them not as per their creation sequence, but my own arrangement (low votage together, speaker, network etc) Couldn't do it. If this is beeing implemented, it would probably be interesting to be able to organise the drawings with their icons (as now) but also as a table with name of the drawing, date of creation, revision etc alowing the user to sort drawings by their name, date, revision etc (windows style: big icon, small icon, detail etc)

3 use of In/ out stubs

As I spread my project on to several drawings, I make an extensive use of input and output stub from the library / generic components. Following the general logic of SD7 with regards to the product handeling, I would believed that to an output stub of one drawing we should get thecorresponding input stub onto another. Logically, the cable to the outputstub on one drawing should have the same reference on the other drawing fromthe input stub to the next element. I tried something onto a test drawing. Thestub do appear on the product list, this means that somehow stardraw does notunderstand my philosophy. Am I doing something wrong here or this is it?

It's all for now, but answers to these issues would really help me out.

Thanks
