move page by handles

[David Poiron]

Does anyone think the ability to snap to the corners/centre of the page as useful? I would like to be able to precisely align objects to the corners or the centre of the page, and be able to grab the page using handles at the corners or centre using the move page tool.

I think it would.

Also usefull would be if VW could snap to the Bounding-Box of the objects, and the option to grab and move objects on their bounding-box corners/edges.

One gripe I have with the present page control scheme is the lack of a fixed anchor for the page position when I expand the number from pages from 1 to 2 to 3, etc. When I draw mechanical diagrams, I usually draw something and then wish to draw another view, or some auxiliary part on another page. Everytime I add another page, the page location jumps and I have to recenter the page back to where it should be. This is a pain.

I usually draw a short line from the top corner of the page boundary, then expand the page count, then drag the page corner back to my line. No fun.
