Hi Steve - re: gestures in solidworks for view stuff - having the gestures cover a more narrow area like just view changes instead of a full menu would probably help keep them more limited in number and easier to memorize.

MoI itself does actually rely on a gesture, for creating construction lines while drawing you do a "hold and drag" gesture with the mouse rather than the regular click for placing a point.

But the shape of the gesture doesn't matter, it's just the drag action that does it, and my hope is that having just 1 gesture is a lot easier to remember than having many of them.

Hi Nick,

Yup, that could be possible, but they pretty much don't have anything in common with one another, so it's not so much about making some common code more complex, that would be more about implementing a completely different feature area that could then be enabled.

Just in general it's kind of hard for me to schedule time for developing full feature areas that will end up disabled by default.

Options to control behavior for advanced users tend to be more feasible for me to implement when they are more like a modification in behavior for something, not so much when they involve implementing a completely new feature area like this would be.

Fair enough, but I had to try. :-)
