You have the choice. You can switch to the 3D wireframe by a single click on a button on the "visual styles" toolbar and rotations will be active. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle between 2D and 3D wireframe and assign it to a button on the 3D Mouse: a single press on the...

In the end, the user has the choice. No two engineers use AutoCAD in the exact same way. The same goes for the 3D Mouse. That's my point. We don't really have a choice. Why can't we have the option to use it in the way we desire? Don't get me wrong. I think the Spacepilot is brilliant. especially w...

Do note that most users do not want to rotate the working plane when editing a dwg in the "2D wireframe". Hence the reason I asked "Or at least to give us the option to act in this manner? " The act of reaching for the "orbit" tool has a implied switch to the "3D ...

[quote="ngomes] In the past, our solution was not consistent mainly due to a limitation of the AutoCAD API that prevents add-ins from reliably determining whether a dwg is 2D or 3D. The decision was then made to follow the behaviour of the other native commands of AutoCAD -- like the "orbi...

Hi Skint Subby, That's my point. AutoCAD does it automatically Activating the "orbit" command is a manual operation: the user needs to click on a toolbar button or type the command in. I as far as I'm aware, you can switch to a 3D wireframe mode and leave it there. Is that correct? Do you...

Hi Skint Subby, If you use the "orbit" command, you will see that the application changes from a 2D wireframe to 3D. The 3D Mouse implementation follows the same approach. Ngomes That's my point. AutoCAD does it automatically :roll: What benefit is a spacepilot in AutoCAD if you have to a...

Hi Skint Subby, Please refer to the following posts: post 1 and post 2 . Hi Ngomes That's what I mean. If you are working in AutoCAD 2007 or 2008 (2d wireframe) and you want to rotate your model, you have to switch visual styles before you can rotate the model. Otherwise you can only pan the model....

Why is it that using the spacepilot in AutoCAD 2006, it worked fine in 2d wireframe, yet in AutoCAD 2007 & AutoCAD 2008 you have to switch to a different visual style just to be able to rotate your model?
