2D Pan for Orthographic Views

[stephan_reischer]

Working as technical illustrator there are alot of occasions where you have to use cameras in orthographic mode (or) just a orthographic viewport. 3dsMax does handle Isometric Views quite well. So 2D pannig would be very welcomed here too (and the possibility to create a ortho camera from view as well, by the way).

This applies to Direct Light View, Orthographic Viewport and Camera with "Orthographic Projection" enabled, did i forget something?

I really can not imagine why some one would restrict this useful feature to point perspectives.

Cheers,

you can do that,  press p, then Ctrl C,  check  "orth proyection" in the camera and thats it.

@tricotalazan: Yes, thank You, i know. But with a camera in ortho-mode the 2D-Pan doesn´t work also.

@Kelly_Michels: Please would You consider to change back the status of this idea to "gathering support"? My request was not about making a orthografic camera or so. Its about being able to use 2D-Pan/Zoom in ANY orthografical Viewport. Thats important for people who have to output/workWith isometric stuff. Not only for me. Ehsan.Sarahian did start a similar (or identical) request!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who misses this feature.
