PAN - constraint?

Feel like this is a dumb question but is there a way to Pan (shift+right click drag) but constrain the pan to be straight (right, left, up, down) ? and not this free form panning ?? @pascal

Hello - yep., start panning (RMB drag in a plan view) and then hold Shift - the pan will be constrained to the screen axis that ‘dominates’ the initial pan. Similar for view rotation in oblique views.

-Pascal

right thats what i thought… just tricky to get it down and good from take off, is there anyway this could be done immediately in the future?
