Hello

Is it possible to set right clic to "turn" tool ?

I find keyboard shortcut in tool customize but I didn't see mouse setting.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

You can't seem to be able to bind functions to a mouse directly but if you have a multi button mouse, many gaming mice have 5 or so buttons, you should be able to use the mouse software and bind keys that way. This can be handy for constraining to x, y or z.

AM also supports the space navigators and I use one especially in the modeling and action mode to buzz around my selections.

You're gonna need that right mouse button to do right mouse button things.

The Microsoft 5-button IntelliMouse is very good at being able to program its extra buttons. You can program them to behave differently for each app. I made my left-side button do "rotate" in A:M.

I have a space navigator and I have also used a nostromo n52 pad for all my regular shortcuts (It also has a thumb controlled direction control button)

Cheers

Do you use both the Space Navigator and the nostromo with the left hand?

I use the Nostromo more than the space navigator. The space navigator is a little 'iffy' as the supposed settings in the preferences are not reflected in the AM interface (ie too rapid movement - or the settings are far too sensitive) and 2 of the axis are swapped (roll and spin).

Cheers

Thanks for these informations

I actually found this utility that might be handy. It allows you to map various inputs to different devices such as joysticks, xbox controllers etc. It should do what you want if you intend to map a mouse control to something else. Some of the new game controllers have pretty ergonomic layouts and I could see them being used in AM.

It is $20 though, sorry couldn't find a free one.

Thanks, this community is realy great.

I just wants people to know :

I've tried pinnacle game profiler. But it didn't work with mouse.
So I asked in their forum, and they answer it's not possible to map mouse button to emulate keyboard.

But your idea about mapping mouse button, in exellent. I will look to other software (and have a look to hardware).

Thanks again for this good idea.

Hey those are great. That Left-side numberpad keyboard is something they should have invented 20 years ago.

As a left-handed person, I'm really glad they didn't. The right-side keypad is one of the few perks us left-handed people get.
