Using 3dconnexion CAD Mouse and Space Mouse

wilburg — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 15:20:02 GMT

I use the Space Mouse Pro Wireless and the CAD Mouse to manipulate my F-360 designs.

If I use the Space Mouse to rotate the screen to a position I like, I occasionally find myself using the CAD mouse to subsequently rotate the screen to another position.

I press the middle button on the CAD Mouse to get into rotation mode, and as soon as I move the mouse to start rotation, the screen jumps back to the same position as it was before I did the initial Space Mouse rotation.

Here's a YouTube Video of the problem:

Can you show image of what Pan, Zoom, Orbit preference type you have set.

I normally use my Space Navigator and I was surprised how uncooperative the mouse wheel technique was as I had never noticed this as an issue before. Not sure if it is a new issue or if I had become so predominately a 3DConnexion manipulator that I just didn't use the mouse wheel anymore.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Two things:

1) I can't find any screen resembling "Preferences controlling general UI behavior"

2) Even though I was in free rotate, I resulted "Free Rotate" in the app's bottom toolbar, and the problem wet away.

Thanks for helping.

Wilbur
