Use 3DConnexion mouse as 2D

[Ricky]

Hi Jwick,

I have already reach out the global xml according your post above.

Yes, your right, this setting doesn't make it a great 2D mouse. So, do you have some improvement since years ago....

And now I have reset it back to 3D mouse. But I can't use rotating function in AutoCAD.

Hi Ricky,

There are no immediate plans to improve the 2D mouse emulation for the 3D mouse (I have some ideas though).

If rotations are not working in AutoCAD, they are probably disabled somewhere. Check the driver's AutoCAD cfg file (your changes are in %appdata%). There may also be some options in AutoCAD.
Check with another app, or one of our demos, if it is a more general change (e.g., in Global.xml).

Hi Jim,

I used your files on page 2 of this thread and it worked great. I was wondering if there is a way to increase the panning distance/responsiveness. It would be nice to allow the panning to be a little faster. Is this a setting in the xml that can be customized? Thank you so much.

Regards,
Charles

cwbest78,

The XML allows you to set various parameters on the axis processing.
Some you can do in our GUI (scaling - increase the speed).
Some you need to edit XML (non-linearity - acceleration). This is the <ResponseCurve> under <Settings>.

I will probably need to help you with that.
