I´m struggeling with the size of the gripper more and more the last days.
I´m working on big parts with small details and ever so often the gripper is either waaaaaaaaay to big to even see the handles on screen or waaaaay to small to differentiate between size, rotation, scaling.
I know I have requested this for an update of shark already but want to show some examples how this hinders a constant workflow.
I have to resize the gripper to the desired size ever and ever again.
What is the sense of a gripper that scales with zoom anyway?
It´s the same with the always visible checkbox.


What good is a gripper that can disappear or scale out of usability.

I´d prefer a gripper that is always on top of geometry and has the same size.

I have the same problems with it.

Thanks!

But this is a workaround :-) It should outo rescale every time the screen is zoomed.

I second that. The many times it has annoyed me that I have to zoom out to see the handles. They should always stay within the size of the windows. What's the use/point of having them outside of it?

The Gripper is crazier in 1182 than it ever has been.

A note to all Windows users, the gripper has calmed down a lot since I removed V8 from the same machine as V9.
