    One of the guys I work with asked what had happened to the vertical and
    horizontal scroll bars within a drawing were when a drawing is open. He
    said they disappeared when 2008 was installed. I honestly answered him that
    I didn't know as I never used them. I have a Spaceball and pan using
    that....Come to think of it, even before I used a spaceball, I used the
    middle mouse button to pan. I guess he used the scroll bars...Well,
    whatever - to each their own (personally, I would think it slows you down
    with extra point an clicks and the such).

    Anyway, I went though the options quick and didn't see anything - Does
    anyone know off the top of their head how to turn them on or if they were
    taken out in this release.

    I set up his mouse to do it and he was intrigued that he could do it. He
    apparently has been rotating views in part and assy files by the arrow keys
    or the rotate icon and was rather amazed that he could rotate with the
    center mouse button. (shhesh!! - But he works hard non stop and has been
    doing things this way for years, so he's accustomed to it....)

    They were removed as one of the GUI "ENHANCEMENTS" in 2008 SP0. They did
    add the option to turn them back on in SP3. Go to TOOL>OPTIONS>
    DISPLAY/SELECTION and toggle them back on. You have to do this with NO
    SW files open or it will be greyed out.

    ahhh.... Thanks - That would explain it. (We're on SP 1.1 - I'll let him
    know they'll be back when we roll out SP3...

    Many thanks again!
