SpaceNavigator & May2012 strange behavior

Post by lecra »

Hi all,

Today I have updated from Maya 2011 to Maya 2012. After have installed Maya 2012 I have removed 3dconnexion drivers and installed the newest one (official release). In Maya 2012 I realized a strong behavior:
I'm able to tilt and rotating an object just until I move the object on a x axis. After have moved the object I'm not able to tilt or roll anymore. Instead of rotating the object will be moved back and forward! See the attached video I made.

System data:
Windows 7 Enterprise x64 English
Maya 2012 x32 English
3dconnexion drivers: 3DxSoftware64_v3-15-6_r1281.exe
This behavior does not happen in Maya 2011!

Same behavior with the latest Beta drivers.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks; Lecra

Hi lecra,

Press the menu/panel button (or the left button of the SpaceNavigator). The popup menu will be shown and you can disabled the "lock horizon" option. This option keeps the scene upgright (as most Maya users intend to have it).

Hi ngomes,

Thank you for your hint! This was not solving my issue but it's a good hint.
I solved the problem in deleting the maya folder in my Documents folder and resetting Maya to the defaults. Since them it's work again :-)

This thread can be closed.

Thank you all.
