3Dconnexion Zoom

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 16:13:17 GMT

Hello

I am using AutoCAD 2016 with a 3Dconnexion space mouse pro. All of a sudden, the zoom in is limited. If I pull up on the device, I can zoom in only to a certain limit then it is stuck. I can still pan and rotate at this point. If I then use the normal mouse roller to zoom in further and attempt to pan or rotate, the model flies off the screen. The only way back is a zoom extents. Then I'm back to square one, not being able to zoom in as far as I'd like with the space mouse.

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Dave

Hi Natasha. I tried all the typical "IT did you try re-booting" type fixes. The problem randomly resolved itself when I had a command active trying to measure an area and used the space mouse to zoom into the vertex I wanted. I guess I'm all set... for now. It's a bit frustrating how unstable AutoCAD is with the 3Dconnexion interface. It seemed to work seamlessly until Autodesk took over the drivers. Any plans to change back and let the 3Dx drivers do the work?

My problem has randomly come back. Any graphic setting suggestions? Also, I wanted to follow up on my question with regards to letting 3Dconnexion handle the drivers as opposed to Autodesk.

I am also having problems with a 3d Connexion cadmouse pro wireless on Inventor 2021. It will unexpectedly zoom to infinity, and I have to then go to "view>zoom all" to get the model back. So frustrating that I had to switch back to a regular mouse. Any suggestions appreciated.

This topic is actually about the space mouse... and AutoCAD.

You can try gogin to the inventor forums and post there.

That said have you tried disabling the smart scroll feature?

I didn't realize I was not on the Inventor discussion group. I will post there. Smart scrolling is disabled.
