"sketch lock" setting for Fusion 360 broken on Windows10.

Post by foodini »

I'm using the SpaceMouse compact. I haven't used Fusion 360 in a few months, so I had to update it when I fired it up recently. I'm now on 2601.1.37 x86_64. When I try to edit a sketch, the 3d mouse causes the camera to rotate freely, which it never did before - I would have noticed because it's staggeringly annoying and painfully disruptive. I was using a 10.8.x 3Dconnexion driver version but I updated to 10.9.4. I've rebooted since the install. I'm still seeing the issue, even though the "sketch lock" box is checked in the advanced driver options for Fusion 360.

Any idea what's going on here? My 2D mouse has a bunch of custom configurations on it that prevent me from using it for zoom and pan in Fusion, so I'm currently stuck with this psychosis-inducing sketch camera rotation issue.

Hi foodini,

Thank you for your post.

So you say that you have "sketch lock" option checked and when you start a sketch in fusion 360 you can freely rotate the view?]

I would suggest resetting all settings in the 3Dconnexion driver.

Exactly. With the box checked, sketches freely rotated about all three axes.

Resetting did fix the problem, but it required a reboot of the system. Simply restarting Fusion didn't do the trick.
