Pan and Zoom do not work in Blender

Post by Akash »

Hi
I'm using the Enterprise device.
In Blender [3.1.2 but also it was the same in 3.01]. only rotation works for me. I couldn't find anything about that issue in search [here and in the blender forum]
the Enterprise works normal in other apps so it is not a device malfunction.

thanks a lot

Did you perhaps changed the pan and zoom axis assignments in the Blender configuration?

Go to the "3Dconnexion" pane in System Preferences, select the "Blender" configuration and see the axis are enabled. You can also restore the configuration to the original settings.

Hi
I didn't change the axis
they are in the default config.

what else can it be...? Perhaps something in Blender itself ? I can't seems to find any reference to this issue anywhere .

[and again. my device works correctly in all the other apps]

thanks a lot

Could be but I'm not sure. Go to Blender and check the settings in Preferences > Input > NDOF.

Not sure what else to think.

Perhaps you do not have a driver configuration for Blender, in which case the driver will be using the "Any Application" configuration.

Go to the "3Dconnexion" pane in System Preferences, select the "Any Application" configuration and click on the "Use Defaults" button.

Also check the "Demo" programs in System Preferences > 3Dconnexion > Tools > "Demos" button. Specifically, check you can freely move the "cube" in "3D Demo".
