Character Control Manipulation

Post by dabad531 »

I just got my first Space Pilot Pro. I use Maya 2015 and I'm trying to figure out how to manipulate character controls using the dial. Currently, the dial only moves the perspective camera through space. Is there a way to toggle space/camera movement and object/character manipulation? Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

Hello dabad531-

In the current driver [3DxWare 10.2.9] the option to switch from Camera to Object mode is in the 3Dconnexion Properties window under Advanced.

In the older software versions [3DxSoftware] the SpacePilot PRO < Menu> button was mapped to a pop-up menu with the Maya navigation options. Now <Menu> opens 3Dconnexion Properties with all options for the in-focus application. If you have < Menu> mapped differently, 3Dconnexion Properties also opens from 3DMouseHome or Windows|Start

Thanks, Barbara! Is there a way to quickly switch between both modes?
