Using a Joystick with Inventor

Anonymous
Not applicable

I know there are many things you can buy to help you with 3D modeling, control sticks that allow for easier camera rotation etc. I simply have an xbox one controller that can connect to my pc and this magical software called "JoyToKey" that allows me to assign the controller to pretty much do anything I want wether it be move the mouse or press keys etc. What I need to know is if there is anyway I can set it up to work with inventor. I'm looking for hotkeys that work the camera. For example pressing the up arrow key would pan up or shift up would rotate the part upwardly. Things like this would make this much easier. I've been playing around with making the mouse hold shift and click the middle mouse button but its not optimal. 

 

Thanks for any and all responses,

Like Carlos mentioned a spacemouse is what most of us use.
But if you can map any key:
F2 = Pan
F3 = Zoom
F4 = Rotate

I'd imagine mapping those keys to the shoulder buttons and then using the stick to act as the mouse...
