Is the fine panel adjustment broken recently? I tried holding control while moving a panel item (as decribed in the panel editing documentation) and it still moves by a single grid amount, shouldn't it move by a smaller amount like 1 pixel at default zoom? I swear it used to work or am I going nuts? Ben

Yeah it certainly used to work that way Ben!

Hi Ben,
It seems ok here (typical!). I assume you're using the latest version? Shif, is it ok with you?

Working fine in 0.9.3w for me!

If i move by dragging, it moves 1 grid square, but if I move with CTRL+ cursor keys it moves by one pixel, regedless of zoom level

Weird, yeah I'm using the latest and it's definitely not working. Just to be sure I am doing this correctly, I started a new schematic, dragged out a knob. Enlarged the module size by dragging out the right corner of the knob module, then unlocked module so I could edit the panel. Left Click dragging the knob itself on the panel is always the same no matter if I hold control or not. It always moves one grid space at a time. I tried different zoom levels, different key commands (alt and shift and control and all combinations) and right click too. My ctrl key works as I can do commands like copy and paste with it. I'm using an American Dell Inspiron 8200 running win XP pro. Any ideas? Ben

try selecting the part you wanna move and then CTRL+cursor keys. It works for me

Great! CTRL+Cursor works. Thanks Unk! So is that the way to do it? Or does CTRL+Mouse work for everyone else? Ben

Sorry beno, I thought you were talking about cursor keys.
So to clarify: you only get fine adjustment with the cursor keys at the moment. Probably wouldn't be difficult to allow CTRL to make this happen for mouse movements too though.
Note that the CTRL modifier moves the equivalent of what would be one pixel at the default zoom. If you're zoomed in 2x then CTRL + cursor will move in 2 pixel steps (resulting in 1 pixel movements at normal zoom).
For ultrafine positioning use SHIFT + CTRL. This will move by one pixel regardless of the zoom level (resulting in sub-pixel movements at normal zoom).
Hope this makes sense 🙂

Thanks Malc, glad to know that my SM isn't freakishly broken after all. I don't really think we need the mouse to drag at the high resolution (at least it isn't a high priority to me) now that I know how it works. Thanks again. Ben
