    Fit command places components under the pathfinder? Any fix for this.

    I havent started using the radial yet in SE but prob will soon. I didnt use it much in SW because if im moving my mouse, that means its heading somewhere and my left hand has already taken care of what im going to do when I get there LOL.

    Well for many of them there are just no shortcuts to be had (at least that I have found out thus far). Just right off the top of my head, its shortcuts themselves. In SW you can program single button hotkeys, even the spacebar. When most CAD guys sit down at the PC 1 hand goes on the mouse...

    Well, im not a rookie at software and through the years I have learned more than a few. I have vowed to give it a fair try but thus far (while admittedly a novice at SE) its not nearly as intuitive as solidworks nor is it as customizable. They will both do all the same things but with SE...

    Im fairly new to SE and as such going through many of the growing pains of learning a new software. I have the opportunity to change to solidworks but im trying trudge forward and deal with this...for now. Anyway when I use the fit screen command one of the things that irks me is that it places...
