Pan and zoom in CC3+
(Please, if I could have searched and found the answer to the following question, please respond with the proper search terms. I am usually pretty good at searching forums, but I am at a loss here.)
I am very new to Campaign Cartographer and still learning. One thing I have not been able to figure out is a way to pan the drawing using the mouse.
By panning, I mean scrolling the map to a different location without zooming it. I realize that CC is not the same as other graphical programs, but I seem to remember (twenty-five years ago) being able to pan the drawing I was working on in AutoCAD, and it was mentioned in the tutorial that CC is more like CAD than anything else. I am hoping that using the scroll bars is not the only way, but would appreciate knowing if that is, indeed, the case so I can get accustomed to doing so.
CC3+ appears to be a most excellent program for my purposes (RPG mapping), but this is frustrating me to no end. Surely there is a way!
Thanks

Wheel zooming isn't too difficult to get used to as a way of moving around
Thanks for your response!

The PAN command also provides a non-visual pan.
Note that CC3+ doesn't calculate effects outside the current view, which can make panning slow with effects on since it must recalculate effects all the time. (Non-visual pan using the PAN command is better in this case)
Now I just have either (a) get a mouse or (b) figure out a way to simulate a middle-click on my trackpad.
The PAN command will do the job otherwise-- perhaps even better, though the jury is still out for me.
My day is officially made.
