I just got TSM pro and am going thru the tutorial(s). One thing that really bothers me is the fact that when I zoom in, TSM sooms in using the 0,0,0 poosition as the center of the zoom. I really want my object in the center of the zoom. So what I need to so is MOVE my object back into the center of the pasteboard. I think I did it once, but can't repeat it! Help!

I don't have the Pro version, but try left clicking at the point you want centered, then right click, and select CENTER. Then use the I and O keys to zoom in and out.

RE: A greenhorn question

thanks, I figured it out. At first, I couldn't figure what Center meant ... It didn't center anything, then by accident, I right-clicked OVER the object and it centered. That's nowhere in HELP(less)! I already had the "i" & the "o" but usually, I just moved the object so I couldn't edit it ... no good. I'm in business now ... for the moment anyway, I think
