3ds Max :: Displaying Coordinates When Moving Mouse?
Nov 9, 2013
my coordinates aren't appearing in the text boxes at the bottom of the screen (see screenshot) when I move my mouse around in a viewport. They just stay blank, so when zooming out or in of a viewport, I have no sense of scale. When I select a vertex/edge/face, then the information appears as expected, but it used to show the dynamic position of the cursor in these fields. I have units set up (feet w/ fractional inches). I'm using 3ds Max 2014.
After checking the online documentation, it appears as though these boxes should be displaying this information:
When you are simply moving the mouse in a viewport, these fields show the current cursor location in absolute world coordinates.Is there any setting that controls this, or any toggle that I'm not aware of? It's difficult to start my scene without knowing roughly where I'm clicking in 3d space.
I would like to display East and West coordinates at certain points ( like circle center lines etc.). how can i do this so that the display is accurate and readable?
I just installed Creative Suite CS6 and in Photoshop, when I use the move tool a small popup window shows the mouse coordinates. I can't see any option to turn this off, either in the Options bar or the Preferences.
I am still having trouble moving objects to precise coordinates. For instance, the thing I drew may be in the correct position in the x-y plane but I want to move it in the positive z direction a precise number of units. Or move it along the y axis by specifying where I want it to be not how far I want it to move.
I have recently imported pictures *.CR2 with *.XMP containing GPS coordinates and altitude information.
From my last import (LR4.1 or 4.2) I remember that I was able to drag pictures in the Map view adjusting GPS coordinates, without touching altitude information which was what I needed.
Today I discovered that as soon as I move an image on the map, the altitude value is automatically deleted. And this happens in LR4.3 and also in LR5.0. I understand that if you change the GPS position, the altitude changes also, but for adjustment I have to make, there are no big altitude changes therefore keeping the original value for me is good.
Is there a way to "lock" altitude number, in order to keep the original value, when moving photos on the map?
In CS3 after clicking onto the slider "triangle" I can then adjust it with the mouse wheel. I don't appear to be able to do this in CS6. Can this be remedied?
I have AutoCAD LT 2011 and a 3D Connexion space navigator. My problem is that whenever I move the mouse, the command that I'm currently on gets canceled. For example, if I am moving something and it's asking me for the target location and I move the 3d mouse to navigate there, I get canceled out of the move command. This essentially means I can't use my 3d mouse for commands (a big problem!).
we have a problem with Illustrator.Illustrator pulls behind selection. You can't select an object with the Selection tool, without afterwards draw the object by moving the mouse. A new installation and resetting Illustrator was unsuccessful.
I have been using Corel for over 20 years, and have never needed support. I do most of my work editing nodes within a drawing for creating continuous line patterns that are repeatable.
For years I have simple "nudged" the first and last point of a complex curve to the appropriate position. Now I want to simplify that by entering in the coordinates for the node.
I have tried Object Coordinates, but it appears to do nothing after I change the node location, or radically change my design. There is no documentation for it. I have searched Customize for some sort of input field to add to the toolbar with no luck.
I always have to add the information on the coordinates of the selected note to the Status Bar, so I am surprised that I can't find an option for editing the position.
I tried to install the latest pacth but that doesn't fix my problem. (photoshop CS5 12.04 MAC) As i said in the title: when I'm under hand tool mode or when I hold the spacebar down to get the hand tool, the image mouves around and just continue to glide as if it wears ice skates!
When I move my mouse over my image the brush cursor is not moving and it will not let me click on my image (with the mouse) the crosshair/cursor will follow it, however the brush will not, nor will any other tools, my wacom tablet however works fine.
I thought it must be something to do with GIMP accepting input but its not going as of yet.
I was trying painting with gimp and there is a shortcut in gimp to change the size of the brush/opacity my moving the stylus like you can on photoshop or sketchbook pro.
ALT+ctrl on a mac
This would be an incredible time-saver for us artists and not very complex. If not I will suggest this feature to the gimo developers.
After upgrading from CS6 beta to CS6 release this function stopped working (on OS X Lion). The only think that happens when I use both keys (Ctrl+Alt) and move the mouse is moving the whole application/cs6 windows.
The screen flickers when I move the mouse around an open drawing. I just applied the latest patch to Civil 3D 2010. It was not doing this before the patch.
Have Quadro 3500 video card. Updated the driver for that with no change.
Have a Logitech wireless mouse, M310. Up dated the driver for that with effect.
Changed to a wired mouse, no change.
Is there a setting in Autocad where I can set the refresh rate so that it does not refresh while moving the mouse. Or at least slow the automatic refresh rate down?
i am trying to translate a Point coordinates from Paperspce to world coordinates in model space.The code i used in Land2006 worked OK but now in Civil3d 2012 it doesn't!

I want to select part of an image with just one layer. Say I just flattened the image and have to move one part of. I select it with the rectangular select tool. It seems intuitive that I could then just move what I selected, but when I drag the selection, the selection itself moves without moving what is inside the selection.
If I then remember to click the move tool and try to move what's in the selection (seems to work sometimes, maybe when there's multiple layers?) the entire image moves.
The only way I can move part of the image over is if I make a selection and then cut it (ctrl X) then paste it.
How am I supposed to move part of the flattened image, is there a way I can set it to default to "When I select something, I can immediately drag that selected area around."
I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.
how to turn off the mouse function when the mouse cursor moves over a feature, such as an edge, point, or surface, and highlights it. I don't want it highlighting the features automatically. I want it to highlight once I click over a feature. My colleagues and I are very distraught by this feature, and will be discontinuing our use of your products that do not allow us to turn this feature off. I'm not sure why you'd want to weed your customer base like this, assuming that I can't turn this option off from the research I've done pouring through the hundreds of complaints related to this issue. I haven't been able to find any posts recently, or regarding Inventor 2013 specificially on this issue, so I was hoping this version had the option of turning it off. Does any of Autodesk's software, such as AutoCAD, have the option of turning it off?
I followed the tutorial on this page: [URL]. However, my animation auto plays and mousing over has no effect. I have searched and sreached to no understandable (to me) avail. Here's a link to the file: [URL]
I recently purchased CS6 and am having difficulty importing (or finding) the GPS data for my images. I'm using Nikon D5100 and D5200 cameras to take pictures, with attached GP-1 GSP system. I'm shooting in RAW and converting the images as I import them into my computer (Mac, OS X 10.8.5). The data imported automatically when I was using PS10, but doesn't seem to be captured with CS6, even though there are GSP coordinate fields in the metadata template.
Do I need to set something up in my preferences or templates to capture the data?
how to figure out coordinates in PS? for example: top-left = pixel 1,1 and then 40 pixels down and 30 pixles across would be... 30,40. i could figure that out with a calculator, but what if i was looking for an exact point in the middle of the canvas?
I have to create many frames of animation which I place on separate layers in Photoshop. I then have to obtain the coordinates of each of these frames of animation.
the way I get the coordinates is a complete pain and just seems wrong.
Here's what I do:
1) I zoom in to about 600%
2) I then move my cursor to the top left most pixel of the graphic on the the layer
3) I then look at the 'info' panel to see what the coordinate the cursor is at.
now imagine doing this around 100-500 times a day. ouch!
Is there any easier way of getting coordinate information of a graphic on a layer in Photoshop without doing the above?
An example psd file would be:
1.Create a canvas 800x600 pixels
2.Create a new Layer
3.Draw a square 100x100 pixels on that layer and place it anywhere on the screen.
How would you find what coordinate that square is at?
My old laptop tried to self-destruct, so I was forced to move a huge amount of art files to a new laptop. Now, I have no thumbnails in Photoshop (PS3 using XP Professional) and oddly enough, it appears that often entire folders and files aren't showing up when they're actually there. The only thing I'm seeing is the PSD logo. .tifs, .jpgs, and other formats aren't even showing up as being on the disk.
I've gone through all settings that I know of and can't seen to find the 'fix'.
