I would like to have a new movement cursor. It would work like hitting TAB when you are moving an object, although a dialog would come up and you could specify an angle or 'new axis' that you wanted to move the object along. So you could move an object say, anywhere along a 45 degree 'axis'. i hope this makes sense 🙂 -Kyle

Nice wish, Kyle. There could even be an option in the 3ds.set for chosing between the dialog box being activated by the tab key or a userdefined mouse button. (Like AutoCAD's "pop" mouse menu) Mark

another option regarding the same wish: it could work on the same principles of the camera dolly — you would select one object, then another and based on the resultant 3d vector , you could dolly one object along that vector. maybe you could call it an 'object dolly' -Kyle

yeah, and be able to turn the option off for those who only operate on 3 axi anyway 🙂 is it axi or axis's, or axes? . . . i dunno 🙂 -Kyle
