3d view rotate is extremly annoying

[Cristi Achim]

May I suggest a change so that mabe the left mouse button could rotate the view when it's not hovering over anything .

You can switch to the "simple Mousmodel" in the Preferences.

With the simple rotation modelI can't see what I am selecting and with the complex one I can't press the LMB and rotate the view , which I think is wrong . Mabe the LMB to rotate the view should be active all the time and the preselection information and selection capability should also be active all the time .

[jriegel]

Maybe.

The complex mouse model is nearly exactly like in Catia V5. Thausend of engineers work with it.
And is perfectly OK for me. If you dont like it - implement a new one. There is an class called
NavigationStyle which you can copy and implement different. FreeCAD can have lots of different
mouse models (eg. in modules).

Well - nearly like Catia.
Catia uses the RMB + MMB to rotate the view.
Annoying enough if you´ve worked with UG, SWX or IV.
And the reason I use a spaceexplorer with Catia in the company (and a inexpensive spacepilot at home)


It might be a good idea having 2 or more choices for the user here - though I guess it can´t be on a high priority level now.

I really appreciate the work that is done here - the latest version nearly blew my mind.

There are 2 choices already, if you look in the preferences > Display > 3D Navigation

Thanks, I saw that.
Which is the reason for "2 or more".
I tried to make my point more related to the fact that
something isn´t good only because Catia does the same or similar.

Hope you don´t mind.

No problem
I kind of like that mouse model too, because it's good for working with certain "fixed" views, where you don't need to rotate too often...
But the thing is, often people find that model strange, but not many people propose something else either... So I guess until now there is not really any reason to change.
Otherwise, as Jürgen said, it wouldn't be very difficult.

Interesting, the Catia Im working with V5R17 uses MMB + LMB to rotate. The right mouse button is always context menu....

Do you have a English Catia?

Cheers Jürgen

Right,

I was mislead by "nearly like Catia.
Honestly: If it would work that way it would be much easier to adopt.

Otherwise: Good training for the brain. Next week I can try Guitar hero then
