Hi tangoman,

I've spoken to Development about this and there have been some changes to the touch interface.

Previously the touch interface piggybacked mouse movements, hence pressing the zoom tool and then touching the screen in the way you would with the mouse.

In the most recent update this has changed and the touch interface is seperate. Now to zoom, you simply pinch the screen (pinch-to-zoom), much like smart devices.

You can also pan in the the way you would a smart device.

Please can you try this with your latest software?

If this does not work, please can you tell me:

Operating system & the Software release information (under Help>About).

In the meantime I will check the release notes to see if this has been addressed.

HI yes this ok but I still like the old way better . don't forget this is a Automotive Lab scope so when we are using it my hands are not to clean or we have gloves on so I use the digitizer pen that work so much better and way more accurate to pin point the spot I am magnifying . so please asks the guys to give me this option back

Thanks and all the best
