| Summary | 0001274: When editing a sketch (or in any 2D mode), PAN should substitue ROTATE | ||||
| Description | When the user is in sketch mode, the user is effectively working in 2D. Rotate is worthless (and annoying) in this mode. The mouse rotate button should now be PAN until the user exits sketch (or any 2D) mode. This should be true for all navigation modes. | ||||

IMHO This would be unintuitive and break unity throughout freecad... |

How? A 2D sketch has no need to rotate. As a Solidworks power user, this feature is extermely helpful and intuitive. |

I do not agree with changing Sketcher to some kind of unique and irregular pan / zoom / rotate model. When creating / editing sketches I often rotate my model especially when it is relatively complex. Why remove this ability? Rotate is particularly helpful when an edge of the model lies directly above or below one of the x,y, or z axes; I can rotate my model so that the edge no longer appears coincident with an axis making the edge easier to select. The Sketch may be 2D but we are still working with a 3d model which may have other features visible when creating / editing a Sketch. FWIW, I use CAD navigation mouse model and expect that the navigation model would not suddenly change when I go into Sketcher to Create or Edit a Sketch, and then change back to my preset navigation style after I close the Sketch and am strictly in Part Design. Just my opinion, but it would be interesting to learn the opinions of the forum regulars. |

I agree on what bejant says. Furthermore, in FreeCAD there are more than enough minor or major inconsistencies and I don't want to add more. And since CAD navigation is the default style it's very unlikely that you rotate a sketch by accident. And from a programming point of view this wouldn't be easy either because navigation styles are implemented in FreeCADGui which the SketcherGui module depends on. So, this means that it doesn't know about edit modes or the like. Also, navigation styles are supposed to implement interaction with the 3d view only but not with certain objects. |

I think the majority decided against this issue, so I'll close it... |
