Ibeen trying few formulas and google search, but wasn't able to find anything that would help my problem. To keep it simple, as explained in the attached picture, how do I drag down formula vertically, while continue the horizontal cell reference in the formula

You can use the OFFSET function in order to specify a cell offset from cell A1. Even if the formula is being copied downward, this can still be a horizontal offset. For example, the following formula inserted into cell B2 in your screenshot will offset to the right when it is copied downward (it uses the numbers in column A as the offset values):


The first row has data starting in column B, which is the 2nd column. The Index() function above looks at the entire row 1 and then gets pointed to the second column because the function Row(A2) returns the value 2.


The column number with the first value is what you need for the number part in the reference for the Row() function. If your data starts in column 2, then it will be Row(A2). If your data starts in column 7 then it will need to be Row(A7). Then drag down to let Excel do its thing with adjusting relative references.


What you're describing is done by anchoring the portion of the address you want fixed (row and/or column), by prefixing it with $. So if you want to drag your formula down and have the next cell be =A3-B1, what you want fixed is the row 1 reference in column B. You would make the B2 cell formula =A2-B$1. When you drag that down in the same column, the A2 reference will increment but not the B1 reference.


If you want to drag both horizontally and vertically to populate the whole table in this fashion, the first cell would be =$A2-B$1. As you move horizontally, the only thing that will change is the column B reference. Moving vertically, the only thing that will change is the row 2 reference.


Before I got the SU12 beta ,my knobs and switches that are x multi state using

ASOBO_GT_Switch_3States template work nicely. Now when I drag the switch the

inital move ment is opposite to what I want, but only in one direction.

Vertical switch - switch in bottom pos, click and drag up - stop (hold mouse)


I was going nuts trying to narrow this down from hardware to the sim. I finally did a full reinstall of the sim and used another mouse with no other hardware and my multi state switches still played games. I might have not noticed this happened when SU12 was released because I develop not fly. So it now makes sense that this is a template issue.


Turning off dev mode fixes the bug for me. But for my partner he doe NOT get this bug with dev mode on. So we are not sure why I have this issue with no projects loaded and dev mode on and he does not. I wonder is the SDK version also is in effect here.


We tested our own aircraft under development on two different gaming systems. With the same MSFS config on both platforms, and with the same aircraft (same cockpit, same code), and same mouse, we do not have this issue on one computer, but we are having the issue on the second. Both are high-end Dell Alienware machines fully up-to date using the same Logitech mouse.


Update, Dev mode only effects 3-way switches if you have a loaded project. Turning it off does fix the bug, but as we know this is not a solution. And for any non-project types, the switch works fine.


When Prototyping to pass along to FE, it is very important for me to be as precise as possible. Figma already has drag specification, so why wouldn't a superior software offer comparable if not superior features?


2- Prototyping and animations: I noticed that XD has a certain difficulty in understanding what I want to do when animating, in the example I tried to make a carousel that could be dragged, leaving each image centered, in Figma this option works perfectly as it should and has a very smooth animation, in XD it prevents me from placing the same function twice (Drag) on an object and also does not perform the animation it should do.


3- Grids: XD's grids don't have an automatic function, that is, I can't use custom values to create my columns because XD can't automatically adjust the width of the columns to deliver the result I would like.


4- Windows: XD could have adjustable windows like in Figma, in some cases the options windows appear overlaying the elements I would like to adjust and I don't even have the option to move the screen by pressing the space key without closing the window.


5- Move selected objects: In XD I can expand the size of selected objects, but I can't move them while viewing the distance between them, I need to align them so I can see the distance and then move them, doing it in one go time with the selected object would be more practical.


Why has this feature not been included?

There really is little point in having a drag feature that doesn't support multi-directional dragging, especially when it is in an application to help designers prototype for touch screen devices!


Separating out the single drag into Drag Left, Drag Right, Drag Up, and Drag Down would be brilliant. The Get Started with Prototyping Tutorial reached how to drag between the different screens for Onboarding and while drag can be set up, it can only be set up to drag in one direction. I was immediately disappointed that this wasn't a current feature.


Woud love an update to see if this is being considered by Adobe for the near future. I was kind of "shocked" to see that there is a singular drag direction, disabling the ability to do a prototype that simply swipes left or right. Seems like a bizarre omission.


I was very disappointed to discover that Adobe XD does not allow putting multiple drag interactions on the same component. I am trying to build a prototype in which the user can drag a component in different directions for different results (think Tinder, able to swipe left or right on the same card), but have been unable to accomplish this in XD because only one drag action per component is permitted.


For sure needed.

I help myself with a workaround:

invisible box at the right 50% for dragging to the left and invisible 50% box at left for dragging right. Most of the time the user does not notice the limitation.

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to inverter the direction of the drag when I use the mouse click to do scroll in the document. at this time:

click mouse and drag, the page goes down

click mouse and drag down, the page goes up

I would like to know if it is possible that:

click mouse and drag up, the page goes up

click mouse and drag down, the page goes down


i am on a laptop, I think I misunderstood my question.

I wanted to click the left mouse button (I get the hand (grab) icon) and drag the mouse up to go to the first page, and when I click the left mouse button (I get the hand (grab) icon) and drag the mouse down go to the last page.

This only happens in Sumatra, other programs do not happen, and scrolling with the touchpad is ok. just this situation happens with mouse click and drag.

I already installed on other PCs and the same situation occurs


Just to be clear, click and hold results in a closed fist icon, and dragging down drags down the page (i.e. you see more of the previous pages on top), while dragging up drags up the page (i.e. you see more of the succeeding pages below). So you want to invert the mouse drag direction?


It is exactly this situation. Thanks for the program info. Is it possible for you to help create this profile? I am new to this computer world and could not create the option I use the mouse click and drag at the same time. I just realized how to change mouse click but only this setting alone is not enough.

Thanks again.


I would like to have my spread sheet increment across (So using the letters) instead of down. To clarify, I need it such that, as I drag down to have calc auto fill in cells, I need it to increment across the cells in the formula.


If the fixed values do not suit you, but you need exactly references to the source cells in the form of formulas - no problem! Just add Alt-L in the right place - this will enable the Link option and you will get the formulas.


Reviewing the current state of your SlicerQReads custom app, it appears you are using a modified Slicer version that has already swapped some zoom/pan functionality for mouse clicks by way of this commit. For inverting zoom in/out based on those mouse interactions I would suggest to look in those same files as that commit to then invert some more logic.


Changing the mapping like this is fine, but it would be a bit more future-proof if you did not change the Slicer core source code but instead you would run some Python code at startup to change the mapping. See example here.

Hello @lassoan, I stayed up till past 2 in the morning trying to figure out the secret formula for changing the zoom in/out mouse drag direction using Python. Then I began to wonder why @jcfr did not use Python here


It should not be necessary to look into the generated Python wrapper. It is the exact translation of the corresponding header file to a Python object. It contains no additional information compared to the header file.


Changing the translation from GUI event to widget event in the constructor should work well. Changing it in Python is more flexible, but you need to do it for each view (and if you switch layout then you need to do it for the newly created view, too). Also make sure to remove the old mapping before trying to add a new one.


When an airplane is flying straight and level at a constant speed, the lift it produces balances its weight, and the thrust it produces balances its drag. However, this balance of forces changes as the airplane rises and descends, as it speeds up and slows down, and as it turns.
