When you use Zoom to Selected Feature in the Data Inspector, it seems to zoom in or out to some per-determined zoom level (some factor of the dataset extents?) However it would be much more useful to keep your current zoom level, ArcGIS Pro works like this and it works better IMHO.

Agree. A "pan to" (no zoom) would be a perfect companion to "zoom to".

This should sort out the zoom to feature issue for points as well, which at the moment is pretty much useless

This should be easy to implement, yes? When I’m working at the national scale and zoomed in to a particular point feature (say zoom 16), it is really annoying when I select another row in the table and click Zoom Selected and find my self back out at the state or national zoom (zoom 3 or 4). A disproportionate amount of my time in FME is spent zooming and panning the Visual Preview to verify data.

It can be interesting.

It remains pretty much useless 4 years on. I don't really care about AI, this to me just seems one of the most basic things to want to do.
