Mouse sensitivity when moving, scaling and rotate object

Mouse sensitivity when moving, scaling and rotate object

I would like to suggest implementing the ability to slow down mouse sensitivity when moving, scaling, and rotating objects in Alias AutoStudio by holding the Shift key (for example) while using the corresponding tools.

Does anyone know if there is a similar solution in Alias?

A similar feature exists in Blender — when holding Shift, all transformations are performed with significantly reduced mouse sensitivity, which allows for much more precise adjustment of position and scale.

i faced the same issue but i can move the CVs in X-Y-Z directions using xTransform tool and reduce the mouse sensitivity by inputing a number, a similar solution can be implemented for the object transform too!

Yes, that’s a smart idea. I’d like to see it implemented.

Yes, that’s correct. There’s no way to move, scale, or rotate the object with lower mouse sensitivity. For example, when I import data from a 3D scanner (a mesh) and try to rotate it to find symmetry, it’s really hard to fine-tune the alignment with more precision.

"CHEAT"  you can reduce the mouse sensitivity manually in windows

Thanks. I usually switch the DPI on my mouse with a button, but I really wish xtransform worked on objects to

I found a lifehack. When using free camera movement in perspective view, rotation and panning are jerky, like in the video above. But from specific orthographic views (front, back, etc.), rotation and panning work smoothly.
So if you want to rotate from a specific angle, position the camera the way you want, then create a construction plane from that view — it will be treated as the front view. After that, you’ll be able to rotate smoothly from that view.
