I want to re-assign "3d lock" button to another command.How can I do this.
Also I think that other buttons such as sensitivity group buttons are valuable for common used commands.I want to use them as another one .How can I re assign them?
Thanks...
Re-assigning 3dlock button
Moderator: Moderators
even by editing the .scg file?? It seems really odd that the 3d lock button should be so limited.
the views are: top, left, right, front - but what about perspective? Or what about a four-view...
i've read the lock button only works in some apps - leaving it useless for the rest of us?
Tell me there's a hack!
Thanks!

Of course there's a hack...but obviously you are on your own.
You can edit the .scg file. Look for the SPACEPILOT section, then the button that is assigned to UI_ROT_TOGGLE (BUTTON_27_USER) and change it to any other UI_something from the BUTTON_NUMBERS or BUTTON_CHARACTERS lists near the top of the file.
You will, of course, get no feedback in the GUI.
UI_ROT_TOGGLE is a driver function. It works in all apps. The Right, Left, Top, Bottom functions only work in apps in which we can tell the app to change to a special view. We need an API function and a plugin, or a keyboard macro to do that. So those may not work in all apps.
Have fun.

Hi cogombo,
You don't have to edit config files to assign the "C" key to most buttons. All you have to do is open the 3DxWare GUI->Button Configuration->Custom Functions->New and create a macro for the C key (or ^C, whatever)->Done, then assign it to a button from the dropdown menu in the BUtton Configuration tab.
The procedure described in this thread is for SpacePilot/SpaceExplorer buttons which are unaccessible in the GUI.
