Maya 2013 Orthographic view change?

[Tim Hole]

Hi all

I have been using Space Pilot pro in Maya on the 2011/2012...emigrated to 2013 now and for some reason I can't map actual orthographic views. All it does is give a pseudo orthographic in the perspective window.

I am positive I mapped the buttons before and it worked perfectly but I can't remember how, or was it just different before...

Has anything changed that anyone knows of?

Its really frustrating having to spacebar move to another panel when I have always just pushed a button to jump between the orthographic and perspective vies.

Thanks in advance.

Because the ViewSet in 3dconnexion plugin (MagellanViewSet 1(2, 3...)) sensitive to camera settings. If the camera perspective, the ViewSet will also be perspective. If the camera is orthographic, then ViewSet will also be orthographic.

I can offer two solutions to the problem. Use this code to toggle between orthographic and perspective views:

Code: Select all

$state = `camera -q -orthographic persp`; 
camera -e -orthographic (!$state) persp; 

Or instead of 3dconnexion plugin ViewSets, use internal Maya ViewSet bookmarks, which orthographic by default.:

Code: Select all

viewSet -b(-bo, -f, -ls, -p, -rs, -t);

Thanks. I figured it out. Turned out that it doesn't work like the Wacom settings panel. You have to do a 'save as' so my settings weren't saving. Dumb-ass.

Thanks for your posts though.
