Pan & Orbit not working on magic mouse

Anonymous

Hi! 

 

I just installed fusion 360 on my imac (everything updated to the latest version) and i can't pan or orbit using magic mouse. Gesture-based view navigation is on, the program is activated. I had no problems with a trackpad+fusion on my macbook pro but magic mouse only zooms in&out when you swipe up/down and left/right. Is there a way to fix it?

 

Thanks!

Please do yourself a favor and get yourself a regular 3-Button mouse.

The magic mouse is a fine piece of equipment, and I've tried to use it with other 3D applications but in essence for that sort of work it is almost useless. This comes from a CAD and 3D veteran of more than 2 decades.

 

If you want t stick with the magic mouse, on the other hand and are working on an iMac (i do), one of the very best options is to get yourself a 3D space mouse from 3D Connexion. Once you have gotten used to is you'll wonder how you were ever able to live without it. They are not cheap, the wired space navigator is $109 but that's less than many higher end gaming mice cost and much more useful for CAD work.

The only 3D app this does not work well with is Blender.
