Can SpaceNavigator be used to replace keyboard entry ?

ELECTRAMAN · Post by **ELECTRAMAN** » Mon Oct 22, 2007 5:41 am

I am new to programing, can someone help me use the spacenavagator for flying over a terrain GIS program?
The keyboard navigation shortcuts are as follows:
W Move forward.
S Move backward.
Q Move vertically up
E Move vertically down
A Move horizontally left
D Move horizontally right

Up / Down Arrow
Tilt view up / down to +60 or -60 degrees from horizontal.
Left / Right Arrow Rotate view left / right.

Can the SpaceNavigator transfer these key inputs, I think it would work on this program if it could>
ANy help would be appreciated.

Dear ELECTRAMAN,

What operating system and version are you using?
What version of 3DxSoftware are you using?
What 'terrain GIS" program and version are you using?

Sincerely,
Bryan G.

Dear ELECTRAMAN,

Are you using 3DxSoftware 3.4.2?
(You may check it from the 'Help" menu using the 'About ...' item in the 3Dconnexion Control Panel.)

Sincerely,
Bryan

Windows XP Pro
Space Navigator SE Latest -Version 3.4.2
Manifold Version 8 - Terrain View

Any help would be appreciated.

I want to convert keyboard keystrokes over input from the SN.
I think this will make the flying smoother.

Can these be binds with RCB9 program?
Thanks

I downloaded RBC9 program and I think with a little luck I'll get it to work.

Too bad 3D Connection doesn't offer a program like this for more use of this equipment.

They're missing the boat.

And no matter how many times their customers tell them that, they don't get it. This topic has been hashed and rehashed in numerous threads.
