Currently, you will received the id of the last device plugged in. i.e the driver does not inform anyone that the device has been removed
in the mean time.

C# code similar to the C++ might be something like: class Input3DMouseDevice { TDx.TDxInput.Device m_device; TDx.TDxInput.Sensor m_sensor; TDx.TDxInput.Keyboard m_keyboard; protected void Initialize() { m_device = new TDx.TDxInput.Device(); if (m_device.Type == UnknownDevice) Console.WriteLine("...

Currently the issue we are having is that we do not see the issue you describe. With the property 'Display Locked' set to 'Yes' only the paperspace view is pan and zoomable.

What do you do with the other 5 degrees of freedom: these will also move the view point?

How do you imagine the workflow to be to swtich from normal navigation to this mode?

What sort of projection woudl be used?

And in the transition phase from above to below the focal point the rotation speed slows; and even stops when you look at the focal point directly on its' x,z plane. The rotation is relative to the screen. Thus if the object is rotated such that a component of the the cap displacement results in a ...

Thanks Robert. Much appreciated. The advantage is, that one could get a closer view of an object and edit it through the camera view (which is important if parallax matters) and without altering the camera position. Best Jürgen Hi Jürgen, Could you please explain this in more detail - so that I can...

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by 'locked'.

What do I need to do to lock the scale? What do the viewport properties read?

Also I notice in Flymode that if I look top down on the geometry and rotate, the geometry will spin much faster than if the camera is near the horizon, (near y=0) , while in the case of keyboard and mouse the rotation speed is always directly proportionate to the distance travelled by the mouse. Th...
