Swipe only works up and down, should work left and right as well.

Swipe works in all four directions for me.

Interesting, I suppose I can come back and retest, does your swipe arrow change direction as well.

Same here. I do notice that my cursor rapidly changes from arrow to hourglass when I swipe and that seems unusual.

I guess it does work in all directions for me as well, but I think what is annoying is that if I swipe, left to right, in order to swipe top to bottom, I have to reclick the swipe tool, rather than just swipe in that direction. It seems like it would be better to press the tool, and have the tool remain pressed. Another annoyance is that the cursor stays as a hand, rather than the familiar triangle, that I have become accustomed to for ArcGIS. It seems like the hand never changes to any other icon. For consistency for GIS users, it would be nice for an icon change between tools.

AGX 1200 Online Help states:

"If you hold down the Ctrl key while swiping, you'll remain in Swipe mode. This is useful if you want to continue swiping, but in a different direction, for example up/down after swiping left/right."

When I engage the swipe tool I initially get a black triangle then a double triangle when swiping.

Wow, they have a help doc for Explorer, who reads that;)
