Camera Mode Toggles off in SU6

Post by penorjr »

I posted this earlier...but this is getting soooooo annoying!!!! In SketchUp 6...Camera Mode continually Toggles itself off. After working on a DWG for a bit, and changing the View...Camera Mode toggles to Center of Rotation.

I am Posting this again in hopes it will get noticed by the right people...and something will be done about it. I am testing this Product for future Westinghouse purchases.

So far, I am impressed, with the exception of this one problem.

Hi penorjr

Could you specify if you get the same result with drawings native to SU6, or only with DWG-files?

Hi penorjr,

We tried to reproduce this issue with "scenes" but were unsuccessful: the camera mode is preserved when the user switches between the different scenes.

Can you describe a step-be-step procedure that we can follow to reproduce the problem? That would help us very much.

Also, do make sure you are using the latest version of our software. The latest beta of release 3.1 for your device is available from here.

Hi penorjr,

The user CCRDude has posted a scenario where the problem is reproduced each time the document is saved. See his post here.
Please go to that topic to check the current status of the problem.
Do you have another scenario?

Camera Mode Toggling off

Post by penorjr »

If someone will give me an email address...I will email a File to show what is happening. It was doing it all morning on this File. After working on the DWG for a bit, and then using SN to change the View...it would Toggle back to "Center of Rotation."

BTW...I downloaded the latest Driver 3.1.3

Camera Mode Toggles off in SU6

I did some experimenting this morning. I can get it to toggle off after Save as CCRDude reported...and perhaps, that is what is happening in my case also. I have the Automatic Save set at about five minutes, so I may have thought it was doing it after performing some operation and it was actually doing it after a save.

Yes, quite right. The auto save will trigger the scenario as reported by CCRDude.
