Re: [Bf-committers] Auto switch between ortho/persp

just incase you missed it.the autoperspective option already switches to ortho when you use the set views with the numpad keys. as for the view snapping with alt+mmb sure yeah that could make sense. didn't actually know you could snap the view while rotating normally. // Fredrik On Tuesday,

Hi, IMHO auto-ortho or auto-persp are hacks. UIs should not try to think for users or anticipate on what you think might be expected. Keep things simple and atomic and in control. If that means you sometimes have to press an extra key that's at least predictable, and much less irritating than

I've wanted auto-persp for alt+MMB since always. At least when I remember that control exists. I have a suggestion, instead of a hack where the setting is changed, we should have (or have the option to have) two separate persp/ortho states for regular 3D and fixed views. For the numpad 1/3/7 it

Thanks for your feedback ! Ton, I agree with what you say about UIs, however the user keeps control as long as we're talking about an option that has been checked on purpose. Nonetheless if that's your vision then I won't interfere with it. Goodday, Hadrien On 7 May 2014 11:12, Alberto Torres

Fredrik, for some reason your mail had registered as spam. I am aware the numpad keys switch to ortho view, however... well maybe something's off with my workflow but I switch to ortho and back every five seconds or so (in a modeling session) and I'd find it very relieving not to have to go back

I'm also in favor of this option. The solution for an UI that is guessing wrong what you want is an option to turn on Auto-Orthographic in the Preferences, then the UI won't even have to guess. The description of the function could be The view will change to Orthographic when using Alt-MMB

Seems to me that 2 issues are getting conflated here. - Is Auto-perspective a good default? (As agreed here: https://developer.blender.org/T37518). - Should auto-perspective option apply to view axis snapping (Alt while orbiting the view). The problem with axis snapping switching to ortho, is

From what I know, 2008 Express has problems with debug builds. Have you found the same behavior in recent builds? Try downloading one from buildbothttp://builder.blender.org/download/and see if you can recreate the error. If you download the win32 build, you'll need to rename iconv.dll to
