Unable to pan with a MacbookPro trackpad after a while

infoGTZSE — Tue, 15 May 2018 17:21:37 GMT

Hi,

Unfortunately this issue still happens (has occurred for the last 3 months or so)

After using Fusion 360 for a while, (possibly after alt-tabbing), the trackpad no longer acknowledges the pan gesture. Instead of panning, it sort of does a half broken zoom.

Restarting Fusion 360 always fixes the issue, but this is time consuming especially when needing to upload files before being allowed to quit.

Thanks

Russell

Hi,

Yeah sure:

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris 1536 MB

Thanks,

I think this is roughly the same era as mine - which i too have this issue on occasion.

I'm having this issue too, and no amount of restarting or even reinstalling is fixing it. I can't use Fusion360 like this. It's driving me crazy! (And I'm supposed to teach the robotics team a cad class with this next week. 😳)

Any updates on this? It's still happening to me in 2019 on my 13" 2015 Macbook. I use an external monitor, which I read in another thread was part of the problem, but I'm not having any luck, even if I unplug my monitor. Hard to use with out panning and rotating...

I hate bumping old threads, but I just updated to the latest F360 and this problem is happening to me now. When zoomed in on a macbook, the touchpad directional scroll is significantly reduced to the point that it is unusable. Zooming out restores it. I turned off "enable high resolution graphics" and the problem persists.

Same issue here.

It is frankly quite embarrassing that a company like Autodesk is unable to properly support Apples touchpads. It is impossible to use fusion on a macbook without loosing a major amount of hair. Those touchpads work great with all kinds of other software, but with fusion it is pure PAIN.

Please fix this Autodesk and don't loose your face!
