Sofware for mechanical desktop

PSM · Post by **PSM** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 7:27 am

When can the new sofare work as well as the v1-2-1 for MDT? The new is terible to use.

This is my complaints.

1. Set rotation center is not default in the list for buttoms.
2 Set rotation center hangs the computer for 30 sec.
3 The overall speed on max is to slow.
4 The view is not floating when using spaceball 5000 or spacetraveler.

So I start to get feed up with this because we cant change to MDT2007 befor this problem is solved.

Hi PSM

Please try our new beta-software. If it doesn't solve your problem, then define a step by step procedure which should enable us to reproduce the problem.

I have tried the latest sofware. Have you tried to work with MDT and spaceball?

Could you please let us know exactly which device or devices are you using? The SpaceBall 5000, is it USB or serial device?

It's Spaceball 5000 with USB and spaceball traveler USB.

Ok it's improving with the new beta but when shift from shading to wireframe the view moves back to previes view

. The it's lock so I can't rotate in wireframe. Can you pleas solve this because I want to move to MDT2007 because the new graphic is ten times better then in MDT2006.

Hi PSM,

Are you trying to rotate in a 2D wireframe? If you are, try a 3D wireframe does it then rotate.

...but when shift from shading to wireframe the view moves back to previes view

I don't understand this. To help us reproduce the issue please tell us what we need to do step by step.

Thanks for the avi. I can now see what is happening

The view that will not rotate is a 2Dwireframe view. To be able to rotate switch to 3Dwireframe. One way to tell the differnece is by the color of the UCS icon.

That a view change causes the model to jump back to the previous position is under investigation.

I have update to 3.1.8 release and the problem with jumping view is solved. But if I puch this butom amdt_toggle_shadwiref that is 3dwirefame the view turn to a string model and the view freeze to 2D mode and makes it impossible to work.

Another problem is that when i zoom out the model disappear in the background to a dot very fast.

I am sorry I cannot follow what you are trying to say. Would you please give me a test scenario and explain what does not work.

This will be fixed in v4.1.0

1 create a cube like in my avi.

2 Pusch the most common buttom in MDT its a green cube (toggle shading/wireframea) or write mdt_toggle_shadwiref on the commad line so it shift from shade to wireframe like in my avi.

3 Try to use the spaceball. For me it would only moves as in a 2d drawing like it did in my avi file.

In your video the view switches to a 2D wireframe. You can tell by the skeleton ucs icon. If you were to switch to a 3D wireframe it will rotate. You can switch to a 3D wireframe by either pressing the 3Dwireframe button on the 'Visual styles' toolbar or by typing in "_vscurrent 3dwireframe".
