NoGestures

Hi and thx for using my second add-on for Fusion 360 NoGestures

If you encounter any problem feel free to write in this thread 🙂

[ondrej.grill]

Amazing job, thank you very much. Is there anyway to buy you a coffee?

[musteye]

Many thanks for the Addon and this fix mate. This is an critical Addon for me and I felt like I'd lost a hand when it stopped working.

NoGesturesNoShift seems to have stopped working with the March 2022 update of Fusion360 which was pushed to me today. No errors have popped up by themselves, is there somewhere I should be looking to find an error log? Thanks!

[awelton00]

I'm having the same issue. It stopped working and it's driving me absolutely insane!

[awelton00]

I found a workaround. Download autohotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/download/) make a script in notepad that contains the following:

SendMode Input ;don't touch this
SetTitleMatchMode,2 ;don't touch this
#if WinActive("Fusion 360") ;makes all remaps working only if the active window has quoted text in the title
RButton::+MButton ;remaps the right click to behave as the shift + middle
+Mbutton::RButton ;remaps the shift + middle to behave as the right click
XButton1::RButton ;remaps the 4th mouse button behave as the right click

Save it as FusionOrbit.ahk to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and it will run at startup.

Thanks to @Reloecc  for the 4 year old (but still working!) solution. I still can't believe autodesk hasn't made the gesture menus able to be turned off with a simple checkbox.

Perfect. I did this, and disabled the NoGesturesNoShift add-in from running at startup, and it all seems to be working. 

Most of the other software I'm using assign RMB to orbit, so it would be nice if Fusion 360 could also offer it as a choice in Preferences.

Thanks!

aaargh, same here. Hoping Pawel will soon pick this up!

[pawelzwronek]

I'm investigating the problem, stay tuned!

[pawelzwronek]

Fixed! Please wait for updated 1.6 version or copy included _cpyHook.cp39-win_amd64.pyd to ./pyHook folder....

[ejdiamond]

Confirmed -- that works! Thanks!

[pawelzwronek]

Fix for version 2.0.12670, copy included _cpyHook.cp39-win_amd64.pyd to ./pyHook folder....

[ejdiamond]

I understand that the latest fix is for version 2.0.12670 of Fusion 360 (which is what I have).

I installed your previous code, released 3/31/2022, and it's working (seems to be working) perfectly.

Are you recommending that I go ahead and replace it with this new fix?

Thank you!

[pawelzwronek]

That's weird. Now 3/31/2022 version is working for me too, but earlier just after updating to 2.0.12670 it didn't. If it's working for you then there is no need to do anything 🙂

A couple days ago I had a zoom meeting with an Autodesk UX person and whined pretty hard about:

A. There not being a way to disable gestures natively.

B. Updates breaking the addon everyone is using to get around A.

Perhaps they took it to heart and hotfixed whatever was breaking it.

[pawelzwronek]

The reason this addon is breaking after update is that sometimes version of python changes. Last update changed it from 3.7 to 3.9, then I need to recompile _cpyHook.cp39-win_amd64.pyd

[ejdiamond]

Not sure if I can explain the small discrepancies in the dates, perhaps the Python was pushed on a different date from the rest of the update? Anyway, this is what I am seeing on my machine (which is Windows 11):

I hope this helps!

[pawelzwronek]

Python on your system doesn't matter, only the one in fusion folder. Moreover those binaries are different than official from Python.org. Don't know why.

[awelton00]

I'm pretty sure they have broke it again.

[adamPTCLE]

I've just updated to the newest version of F360 and to my dismay, your plug-in no longer works 😢

Are there any plans to update it? Has anyone else encountered this?

Restarting everything did seem to fix the problem!

This plug-in is the only thing that makes Fusion bearable to use, so thank you all for the support 🙏

[ejdiamond]

Confirming --

This version works with the add-on:

Fusion 360 2.0.16265 x86_64
Active Plan: Personal
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (22621.1702)

but this one (May 2023) doesn't

Fusion 360 2.0.16486 x86_64

Ohh -- stopping F360 and then restarting it seems to have fixed the problem!!

Give that a try!
