Advanced Member stevecullum Posted August 3, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 After seeing some demos from Siggraph using a 3d mouse, I decided to buy one. However, after testing in 3dcoat, seems all the controls are back to front. If I push left it goes right, forward I zoom out etc... - this his horribly confusing! Is there anyway to re-configure which way things work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ohhh, yeah. That sucks! There is a way in the 3D mouse control panel to do this, but I don't have one at the moment so I can't check. Sorry Steve! However, Don has one and is an avid user, I'll PM him this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to re-configure which way things work? Yes...generally, you can access your 3DConnexion control panel in the system tray (lower right corner of the screen, of course), and under the advanced settings tab, you can select to reverse any particular function you like, as well as the speed. Usually you will want to calibrate the model the first time you use it. That is where you set how the knob operates initially.If you got the SpacePilot, and I think the Explorer has some preset keys as well...you can set a host of keys for any type of work you are doing in an application, and just toggle through them when you go from one task to the other....like modeling, painting, retopo, etc. It really helps keep your hands off the keyboard for the most part.
