![]() ![]() The Logitech Trackballs M570 also do tend to have accuracy issues after a few year! The scroll wheel/ middle button get effected. I had similar issues with my new computer but not with a mouse on my old one. Occasionally (randomly) when you would scroll over an edge of a model it would appear to select the edge and then think about it! What appeared to be minutes but it real terms, would only be 10seconds or so! What lead me to thinking it was the M570 (or its drivers) was when I handed on my computer. None I can prove to be directly related to the M570 but it couldn’t be ruled out!. With the introduction of Windows 10, there has been some small issues inside of SOLIDWORKS. So why now after all these years would I consider going back to a conventional mouse? And could the 3Dconnexion CadMouse convince me to do so? Or more importantly could I adapt to the CadMouse?Ī question of Why? It has come down to a collection of small reasons. As well as web pages and pdf documents!įor those of us who use the Logitech Trackballs M570 with SOLIDWORKS and computers in general, know of it advantages. Outside of SOLIDWORKS the SpaceNavigator is an ideal product for scrolling along Excel & Twitter columns. I do like to sit back and overall review my models using it. That’s not to say I don’t use my SpaceNavigator with SOLIDWORKS. Along with an evolved use of SOLIDWORKS that sees a combination of left hand keyboard shortcuts, including the “S” (and now “D”) keys and “Mouse gestures”. This is due mainly because of the Logitech Trackball ability. To be perfectly honest over the years I’ve used the SpaceNavigator progressively less on a daily bases with SOLIDWORKS. Carpal tunnel & elbow pain tend go hand in hand with those who use CAD applications.Īt a similar time as moving to a Trackball I also purchased my first 3Dconnexion product. I first moved away from using a conventional mouse partly because of progressive arm pain! I suggest nothing new for those who spend weeks on end, day after day (10-12 hours a day) working with CAD programs. The older one then goes into service with my laptop! I buy a new one ever couple of years for work, to use with my desktop. I first started with a Logitech Trackman Wheel around 2006 before switching to the Logitech Trackball M570 when first release in 2010. For those who don’t know I’ve been a long term user and advocate of Logitech Trackballs. ![]() Purchase DraftSight Professional 2018 for as low as $149 here.I’ve brought a 3Dconnexion CadMouse (and a CadMouse Pad to complement it)įor most people that would not be a particularly big statement! However for me, it is quite momentous! Hopefully I’ve introduced you to another of DraftSights simple and easy to use time saving features. ![]() I used to stick to using the Command Line for entering the majority of my commands, but since configuring Mouse Gestures, I’m quickly changing my ways!įor more information on using Mouse Gestures, the DraftSight Help File has some excellent information on available, just hit F1 when in DraftSight and do a search for Mouse Gestures. All there, easy to use with a Mouse Click and a Drag. As you can see in the image below, I have other commands mapped to Mouse Gestures, such as Line, Save, Open, Copy and Offset. So, if I Right Click on my mouse and drag down to the Right, the Rectangle command starts. If you have one of them, fantastic, you can map commands specific to your 3D Mouse here, if not… Well, just carry on scrolling down through the list!Īs an example, I’ve selected Rectangle in the Draw Category. The first Category you’ll see relate to 3D Mouse Options. Go to the Manage tab in the Menu and under Customization, you will see Mouse Gestures.Ĭlick on the icon and the Mouse Gestures Dialog Box will appear. So, how do you configure Mouse Gestures in DraftSight? It’s simple really. Think of Mouse Gestures as the mouse equivalent of keyboard shortcuts! In today’s blog, I’ll do my best to explain just what Mouse Gestures are and how to use them.īasically, you can use Mouse Gestures as a shortcut to a command. Once you have learned mapped commands, you’ll soon find you can invoke your mapped commands very quickly. Mouse Gestures… It’s another one of those lesser known features in DraftSight. ![]()
