Pan and Move icons

From time to time, my employer requires that I use Solidworks.

In small doses I can cope with this, but my days as a full time user are over. With this new lease of life, I can look at the use of Solidworks with a fresh set of eyes.


Year after year, this software has got more complicated with little gain to the end user (just like Word). Recently when using it, I discovered that 2 functions which are similar in their operation, but vastly different in their output, had the same mouse cursor icon. To the end user this creates some confusion, as you don't know which function you are using,  leading to the potential for negatively changing much of your work without even realising it, you may well even save it, without realising that it's just to late.

I think we should just keep it simple and start using drawing boards again.
