AutoCAD Roll Tilt Spin

Post by DavidHellberg »

Hi;

Is it possible to get Roll Spin and Tilt to work in AutoCAD ADT 2007 and
AutoCAD Architectural 2008. Right now I can only Pan and Zoom

You'll need to be in a 3D view style

Hi DavidHellberg,

Can you rotate using the normal mouse (3D orbit command)?

I am experiencing the exact same thing. It is like the switch to allow 3D translations is being ignored.

Same question: can you rotate using the normal mouse? Is that option available to you in that mode when using the normal mouse?

I have just installed the program with the latest drivers. This is my first install and I can not tilt roll or spin. all the settings seem to indicate that I should be able to. I am running AutoCAD 2008

When I switched to 3D wireframe mode everything works. I can do 3DORBIT in 2D wireframe with the mouse, but not with space navigator. We work (as a standard) in 2D wireframe.

When you start the "3DOrbit" command, it changes the view to 3D until it terminates. In 3D, you can also rotate with the 3D Mouse.

Autocad Roll,Tilt,Spin

Post by DHowlett »

I am having the same problem.
Yes, it will work in all other programs, but not AutoCAD.
It has tilted, spun, rolled before, but suddenly it doesn't.
I have downloaded & installed new drivers, etc.
On a deadline!!!
Please Help.

Change to a 3D view and you can rotate.
