Inventor view plane mappings in IV 2008 / 2009?

Post by tlharris »

Is it possible to change the button mappings on SpacePilot to match my IV 2009 mappings?

If I use ViewCube in IV to map Front View = +XZ plane, the SpacePilot F button still wants to take me to +XY (which in my experience has always been 'top' view)

Any assistance appreciated. I'd love to use those buttons. Right now they do nothing for me.
Thanks.

OK, I'm embarassed to say I've solved part of my own problem.

In IV2009, the behavior appears to have changed a bit.
If you re-map Front and Top views, there is now a 'Front View' command available (different from 'Front') in the button mapping.

So this solves the Front and Top problems.
Problem remains for Left and Right, though. (No 'Left View' or 'Right View' commands available.
