It there any way to swap zoom in and out?
Let me be specific, I'm NOT talking about the check box for wheel direction.
Hold down the Shift button and drag the middle mouse button.
I want to make pulling the mouse close to me zoom in and pushing the mouse away from me zoom out.
It it possible? Don't care if it requires a specific mouse, 3rd party software, anything.
When you say puck, are you talking about a mouse.
My problem is using VeriCAD, AutoCAD, Cyclone, Imageware, Microstation, and Solid Edge, and about 10 other pieces of CAD software starting in 1988. All had it set up to use the mouse pull = zoom in. Works is the only exception.
(Also the only Y up software by default). Drives me crazy. The company uses Y up, nothing I can do about that.
After two years in works, I still can't unto that muscle memory, I always go the wrong way first.
I have one of those mice. Could not get it to do exactly that. and that mouse is way to small for me. A G500 is just a bit too small/light for me but I live with it.
Yes, I guess they call it a mouse. Since is is round like a hockey puck and doesn't move I have a hard time calling it a mouse. Mine is the cheap one on the right and can be programed to function with several different programs. I would like one of the ones on the left side of the picture, I need something to do everything but pick my nose, but I don't want to spend that much. Plus I would probably not be able to figure out how to use it all.
Ahh, you are talking about the Joystick, not the mouse. I don't want to switch between that and a mouse when I am moving (copy/paste) information between data bases, CAD files, spreadsheets, etc. That is a huge chunk of my workflow. That's about to get much worse for me. Currently I have to enter information three places, it's about to become five. (CAD file, Part # system, purchase/sales system, PDM system, and spreadsheet to track progress)
Understood, I wasn't sure but I suspected that you would want to keep your regular mouse. I believe the Enterprise and maybe even the Pro units could be programed to do what you need. But never having tried one I couldn't say for sure on that.
With my 3D connections Puck I can program all of the functions to how I want them to operate. Your zoom and rotate can take place with the puck / mouse without using the shift. It takes getting used to but not I have a hard time remembering how to manipulate the model without it.
