3ds max 2020 rotation not working as expected

[bogordo]

Hi,
When i try to rotate Z axis it rotates around Y axis:

Bottom movement is doing top's movement and vice versa...

I don't understand, this problem comes from defining "Zoom direction" as "Up/Down", if i do not change this the rotation issue is solved, no sense for me.

Try reset all settings.

Thanks, i did, but the issue remains

Changing the zoom direction in effect rotates the device about the X axes (Y & Z axes change). The rotations around the Y and Z axes follow. You can't control what the GUI does, but you can undo that particular swap if you don't like it by editing the XML file. The GUI will do it again if you use it to change the zoom direction.

I've put individual control over the axes in the XML, so you can do [almost] anything you want to them. The GUI performs shortcut ops on those elements.

To undo what the GUI did, remove the entries for the Ry and Rz axes in the 3DsMax.xml file in %appdata%\3dconnexion\3dxware\cfg.

Code: Select all

<Axis>
   <Input>
      <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>
      ...
</Axis>
…
<Axis>
   <Input>
      <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Rz</ActionID>
      ...
</Axis>

Thanks, what should i put inside brackets??

I see "</ActionID><Min>-512</Min><Max>511</Max>" in actual XML, don't know how the commands are used...

Best regards,

In C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\3DsMax.xml, find all of these lines and delete them. Save the file.

Code: Select all

        <Axis>
          <Enabled>true</Enabled>
          <Input>
            <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>
            <Min>-512</Min>
            <Max>511</Max>
          </Input>
          <Output>
            <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Rz</ActionID>
            <Reversed>false</Reversed>
          </Output>
        </Axis>
        <Axis>
          <Enabled>true</Enabled>
          <Input>
            <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Rz</ActionID>
            <Min>-512</Min>
            <Max>511</Max>
          </Input>
          <Output>
            <ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>
            <Reversed>true</Reversed>
          </Output>
        </Axis>
