This is probably a dumb question...

I just had to re-install SL on my computer...so now I'm trying to fix my settings back to what they were before.

When I'm building...I zoom in on an object...but when I close my edit window...the camera doesn't stay on the object I was working on. Does anyone remember what setting needs to be changed to make the camera stay after closing the edit box? Its driving me nutz!

Thanks :)

I think if you alt+click the item, it'll stay. :D

I do alt+click the item to zoom in on it. I go into edit...do what I have to do...and when I close the edit window...the camera zooms around to whatever my AV thinks she wants to look at. I used to have it set so that when I close that edit box...my camera continues to look at the object I'm working on.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was starting to think I had lost my mind. Everyone inworld that I talked to said it couldn't be done.
I knew it could...I've been doing it for months...till I reinstalled SL...lol. Just couldn't remember how I got it to do it.

Thanks again Shack! :D
