Maya and linear movement

3dsjerry · Post by **3dsjerry** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 7:41 pm

I've not used the ST or SB with maya that much but noticed that I can't get anything but linear movement. For instance, moving corner to opposite corner is a series of horizontal then vertical moves.

Is this a feature?

thanks

Jerry

Hi Jerry and welcome to the Forum!

Have you tried to toggle the "Dominant Axis filter" inside the 3Dconnexion Control Panel?

If that does not work:
Which Version of Maya and 3DxSoftware do you use and what options are activated in the 3Dconnexion Control Panel?

thanks for the prompt response.

The dominant filter is not on.

I am using scene, focal point, and fly mode.

Maya 2k8 and also went back and tested it on V7. Both act the same.

I am usng the latest driver 3.5.6 though 3.5.1 shows up in the panel.

when I watch the script in the window I only ever see one axis with data if that helps.

thanks again.

so I fixed it.

The 3dx application that starts up at the same time as maya with the application config settings had dominant axis set on. For some reason it will not revert using the maya panel. If I turn it off in the 3dx appication config at startup, it then works ok. I can then toggle it on and off. If it is on in the startup then I can't turn it off.

go figure.

Thanks anyway

Jerry
