| Summary | 0000371: Bindings ought to be customizable and usuable | ||||
| Description | This isn't merely a feature, navigation is the heart of CAD and middle-mouse-button-and-left-mouse-button is about the craziest binding I've seen, and I've been in more than a handful of 3D software. Navigation has to be improved. A sensible start would be to align to the de factor industry standard of using Space, Cltr and Alt to control view. A reasonable default: MMB - Pan LMB - Select Ctrl LMB - Rotate Shift LMB - Zoom Alt LBM - Dolly But after everyone prefers a different set of keybindings depending on where the person is coming from so I find a way to customize them indispensible. LMB + MMB has to go, though. That's is the most awkward binding one could think of. | ||||

there is one more recently implemented: MMB + RMB. This one might be better for you. Try it. I did not like MMB + LMB either. I presonally do not like using keyboard for this functions. Regards, Petar EDIT - What I especially like with MMB + RMB is if you want to pan after rotation, all you do is release RMB, and after this panning if you want to zoom all you need to do is click-and-release RMB again. EDIT2 - Wiki should be updated with this kind of rotation (MMB + RMB). |

First of all - its not a bug. We use the same mouse model of Catia V5, which is used very wildly in mechanical engineering. I'm board of discussions about mouse models. You ask 5 persons and get 6 opinions! So - take it or leave it! |
