Is there any reason why there is no zoom facility in BV? Sometimes I could really use one.

i don't believe so, I've searched high and low and nothing. big drawback to BV. sometimes you really need to see more. you can always try and rely on the auto align features. my only solution is to run a second monitor (clone mode) at a really low res so it blows it up while i work on my normal editing monitor. sounds cheesy but beggars can't be choosers. oh yeah you can always just flip back and forth from BV to your browser preview (zoomed in) i guess.

Not really a solution though is it? May I be bold and suggest to the Vodfather that is made a consideration for the next release?

Besides resetting the resolution of your defaulted monitor view, to "align" things perfectly, how did you miss the X-Y Axis and Line/Object Positioning tools already present in Blue Voda (lower right of the workpane)??
