AutoCAD Inventor :: Imitating Full Navigation Wheel Orbit / Pan / Zoom

Jul 17, 2012

I've been trying my best to get familiar with the Autodesk Inventor COM API for the purpose of integrating a new 3D input device (the Keyglove) for intuitive control. I have worked through the "My first plugin" example, and I have basic COM integration working using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010. I've been able to rotate the camera's view around a single axis by applying a rotation matrix transform to the camera's UpVector property:

Dim Pi As Double = 3.14159265358979
Dim appInventor As Inventor.Application
Dim oCamera As Inventor.Camera
Dim oRotAxis As Inventor.Vector
Dim oRotMatrix As Inventor.Matrix
Dim oUpVector As Inventor.UnitVector
[code]....

But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to achieve what I'm really after: a programmatic equivalent to the "Orbit" action that is done on all three rotational axes at once. I would ultimately like to reproduce all aspects of the Full Navigation Wheel through the COM API, but right now I'll settle for 3D orbiting. The pan and zoom operations seem to be doable through the ComputeWithMouseInput() method, though I'd imagine there's a better, more direct way to do that with raw camera eye/target transformation as well.

When using the Orbit tool on the Full Navigation Wheel, the mouse X/Y axes control orientation about the Y and X axes respectively, centered around the pivot point. If you hold down shift to enable "roll" mode, the mouse Y axis is ignored, and the mouse X axis controls orientation about the Z axis. The Keyglove provides angular rotation data on all three axes at once, so there is no need to toggle between X/Y control and Z control; it should be easily possible to do them all at the same time. I can't figure out how though.

lacking in familiarity with the COM API and/or the ability to visualize and code the correct spatial geometry calculations.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Orbit With Mouse Scroll Wheel?

May 7, 2008

I've just started with Inventor 2009 and have found that you as default you cannot orbit around by pressing in the mouse scroll wheel, holding ctrl (or shift) and moving around.

This works in AutoCAD 2009 3D and all other 3D software I have used, so I'm assuming that there is a simple setting somewhere to activate this?

AutoCad 3D :: Orbit Does Not Work With Shift And Mouse Wheel

Nov 28, 2012

When trying to orbit while pressing the mouse wheel & holding shift nothing happens. I have looked into CUI and everything is set up correctly under mouse buttons. Clicking on the navigation wheel allows me to orbit but using shift and mouse is so much quicker. I have just upgraded to AutoCAD 2013 perhaps that is the problem?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Middle Mouse Button (wheel) Set To Zoom All / Zoom Extents Double Click

AutoCAD 2010 :: Adjust Settings In Pan / Zoom And Orbit

Apr 19, 2011

Is there a way to adjust the settings in pan, zoom, and orbit. I've been using these commands with my mouse button and wheel. These 3 commands are not behaving properly. Whenever I make a small scroll on my mouse, the view port zooms all the way until I cannot see anything, which is very unlikely. The same goes when I use Orbit, a small movement/click in my mouse, makes a very big difference in a view port.

But everything goes well whenever I start new drawing.

AutoCad :: Change Zoom On Mouse Wheel

Sep 17, 2013

Is there a way to change the zoom on the mouse wheel? Currently to zoom out I scroll toward myself. I would like it to be the opposite since other programs I use are set up in this fashion. It would be easier if all were the same.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Mouse Scroll Wheel Zoom?

Jan 11, 2013

I have a CAD 2013 Arch user who is having a strange issue with zooming in or out using the mouse scroll wheel. It doesn't happen all the time which frustrates me because I never see it, but she does. Every now and then when she's working in a drawing she'll try to zoom out slightly, but the it zooms WAY out, so much that the drawing looks like a tiny speck. When she tries to correct it by zooming in, it zooms WAY in. Then for some reason, it starts working fine. This seems to happen to her multiple times a day and I'm sure what to or how to troubleshoot this. She's using a wireless mouse from Logistic and seems to have the current drivers installed.

Photoshop :: Liquify - Return Of Alt-Scroll Wheel For Zoom?

Jul 14, 2012

While I most definitely love the addition of "alt-right-click-drag" for resizing the brush in CS6 Liquify , I must say I greatly feel the loss "alt-mouse-wheel" for zooming in and out.
 
(Alt-mouse-wheel is much better than ctrl-left-click zooming because you didn't have to go down to the zoom pop-up or ctrl-right-click to bring up the zoom dialog to go back to 100% or fit image.)
 
If it was brought back, then brush resizing and zooming in and out is all under the Alt key -

Photoshop :: Alt Key / Mouse Wheel For Zoom (windows 7 Function)?

Apr 15, 2013

I'm using CS6 on windows 7-64bit with a keyboard and a mouse.  I have a problem with the default functionality of the "Alt" key in windows 7.  For those of you that are familiar with the default functionality of the alt key in windows 7, please skip to the next paragraph.  For those of you not familiar, pressing the alt key in most programs in windows will highlight the toolbar so that you can use the keyboard to make selections within your "File", "Edit", "View", etc. toolbars if your mouse goes dead.
 
My problem is that I use the Alt + Mouse Scroll for zoom all the time.  I rely on that feature probably more than I should.  Yes, I could use cntrl + or cntrl - for zoom but that means I have to take my right hand off my mouse and I use photoshop 8+ hours a day some days.  Time is of the essence to complete projects by the deadline.
 
I've tried disabling the default alt function in windows 7 (didn't work because you can't without third pary openware).  I've tried duplicating the shortcut in the Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts menu (didn't work because it doesn't recognize the mouse scroll).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Unable To Zoom With Wheel

Mar 25, 2013

Using CorelDraw X6 on Windows 8 x64, and a Kensington Expert Mouse (that's a type of trackball).

For some reason, I can't use the wheel to zoom in or out. Just doesn't work. The drivers are installed, and the wheel works fine in all other applications, but absolutely refuses to cooperate in CorelDraw X6.2 (had this issue since CorelDraw 6).

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Wheel Zoom Function

I do not know why this function does not come by default in CoreDraw: "Center mouse when zooming with mouse wheel" From my point of view is much more accurate. The default option in recent versions is a mess when zooming with wheel.Is there a reason?There are some other features that you think have no reason to be?

GIMP :: How To Change Zoom In And Out Behavior Of Middle Mouse Wheel

Apr 4, 2012

How to change the zoom in and out behaviour of the middle mouse wheel in Windows GIMP to work without having to press the ^ (control) button on the keyboard? I'm using to zooming in and out using just the mouse wheel alone and hoping that a setting in GIMP could be changed so that it also works without pressing the ^ (control) button at the same time.

I've googled this along with a few other things over last couple of days but no luck. Can this be done?

Photoshop :: Zoom Level Feedback In Full Screen

Jun 14, 2012

Now that the application bar has been dropped from CS6, the zoom level feedback is also gone in full screen mode. It would be nice to see zoom level feedback similar to how Pixelmator displays the level with each zoom in or out in the center of the frame.
 
The UI device is similar to the feedback that the new crop tool displays to show the changing image size.

Lightroom :: When Image Go To Full Screen (zoom To 1:1) It Become Blurry

Jul 13, 2013

When I zoom to 1:1 with LR5 in the Develop module, I get a sharp image almost instantly, but when I then go to full screen (or go to full screen first and then zoom to 1:1), the image is blurry and stays that way, and the only way I can fix that, strangely, is to use the left or right arrow key to go to a neighboring image, and then return, at which point the blurry image comes into sharp focus in a second or so. My system seems to handle everything else in 64-bit LR5 with ease. Any thoughts re what's happening and how to fix it. A great product overall, and I love the full screen feature in other respects.

Lightroom :: 4 Book Module - Are There Zoom Levels Between Full Page And 1:1

Jun 8, 2012

I haven't been able to find any zoom levels between full-page view and the Ctrl-U zoom that seems to be 1:1.  At full page, 12 point text is very difficult to read and edit and anything smaller is impossible.  At the Ctrl-U zoom level, I get about 40 characters of 12 point text across the screen & proofreading & editing a text box is very time consuming.

i have no idea and i am completely stumped. I know i can hold down ctrl and use the mouse wheel to zoom, but that just feels awkward to me.

Maya :: One Viewport Is Imitating Another One?

May 3, 2011

i was doing some modelling in Maya and I noticed that 2 of my viewports were showing the same stuff at all times.

For example: if I would change one of the viewports to Top view then the other one would do the same thing automatically, as well if I would look around in one of the viewports the other one would follow.

I assume that I have accidentally tampered some settings somewhere, all I know is that when I started modelling my project I didn't have this problem.
