Hi, David.
Ah, the preview window. :-)
Lets see I just went into the texture room and I have my preview
window of a scene with several objects. I'm rotating all around the
scene and I'm using the mousewheel to zoom in and out of the scene as
far as I can the mouse wheel support is new in C5 you can use it to zoom
in and out in any window.
Ok back to my preview. I'm really trying to distort the view and I
can't and I see that I have the option to reset it to "reference" with
brings it back to the original setting.:-)
I hope this helps you.

I think Philip is refering to the preview window when he says viewport.
Distorts very badly when zooming and moving about and you can never
seem
to get anything usable out of it once that happens. Thats on my list
of
annoyances as well as I contemplate the move from CS3 to CS5. Also when
using a dual monitor setup, and having the properties tray "torn off'
and placed on the second monitor, it cannot be resized to anything
larger than the default size, which on my set up means it is only about
two inches square, which is useless for accurate work as it
necessitates
much zooming and rotating to be of any use and then you get the
distortion.
I am still going to make the move to CS5 but I just really hope that
this feature of the program can be improved (especially as CS5 is still
in Beta), it would make Carrara so much more comfortable to work in. I
said on this list before that CS1.1 had a preview window that was
capable of being resized in a much more flexible manner as it was not
"embedded" into the properties tray. A recent project of mine was to
draw a house for a water management company that necesitated having
several garden hoses running through the scene and hooking up to
several
pumps and valves/switches. I gave up on CS3 and used CS1.1 to assemble
the basic constructs of the scene just because the preview window in
CS1.1 was more usable. I could see how the hoses interacted as I
edited
them in the spline editor on monitor 1 and viewed the main scene in a
stretched out preview window on monitor 2. Of course plants added and
then rendered in CS3. It was just a bugger of a workflow.
As stated I did not make the move to CS4, if all that was improved in
that version, then send me to the corner in shame.
