*Don't know how to Edit Posts*

About the pan question you have 2 options:
- use the aerial view centered on selection (see the FAQ;
- install the Pan 3D view plugin (I'm the developer of the plugin).

I just want to say how much I appreciate this! It's an essential tool for viewing! Thank you so much for creating and sharing it with us! Having trouble getting it to work though. If I can't figure it out I'll send you a note on SourceForge! [:)]
