Bind shortcuts Siemens NX

Post by hampusstenman »

Hi!

I have a 3dconnexion Space Mouse Pro and are using it with Siemens NX.

I would like to make CTRL+ (Top view button) to show bottom view, CTRL + (Right view button) shows left view etc. Either that, or maybe the shortcut button next to the top view button could make the view reversed from the current view.

Anybody that have any suggestions how I can make it happen?

Thank you.

The CTRL-key that's located to the left of the steering knob on my SpaceMouse. When I try to bind in NX it does'nt register the CTRL-key from my 3d-mouse. And the 3Dconnexion bindning settings doesnt allow a command with two different buttons at the same time. I dont know which shortcut that would be able to invert the current view either..

There is no current way to do this with our GUI. You can make changes to the XML that will allow you to do this, but it will result in losing your normal CTRL key usage. That's probably too large a price to pay.

I've forwarded the request on to Product Management.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is there a way to do this for Dassault 3DX / Solidworks, or is it the same issue as with NX?

I would really like to be able to do the same thing - press the ctrl (or alt, shift) key on the spacemouse as a modifier to be able to flip to the opposite view i.e. Ctrl + R = left view

Have any updates here? Changing the view is really hard for me.
