Trackpad actions with new Macbook pro Aluminum
-
just for curiosity...
what kind of actions are possible within sketchup with these new trackpads?
I mean, is it possible to rotate view, zoom in and out, pan, just using the new gestures on the trackpad, or not?
And if it's possible, is it also smooth and easy to do?
Thanx -
C'mon, anybody?

Hi Eugenio,
You are in luck! I actually visited my local Apple Centre today (http://www.compub.ie) and had a look at the new 17" MacBook Pro. I then got them to download Google SketchUp and I tried out the trackpad for a few minutes. I had no trouble getting the zoom function to work by spreading / closing two fingers on the trackpad. I did not have time to go into the trackpad setup in order to make the orbit to function in the trackpad but I imagine it should be possible.
I was looking for the 'button' on the trackpad then realised that I had to press the actual trackpad! Its a nice piece of kit
Mike
