Roger, I'm not sure if this will help or if it addresses the exact problem you are having, maybe it will help. When using the "View Scope to bring up the...

Hi Roger, ... There isn't any way to control the size of the pan via the keyboard. You might try moving about via the mouse instead: you can place the mouse at...
Hi Eric, Basically, it's up to you how you wish to account for the mirror diagonal. If you never remove it, I suggest leaving the mirror diagonal selection...
