netfabb 2021 and 2022: twist axis is not twisting

Post by n0f8r »

The twist axis doesn't work in Netfabb (2021 and 2022) - I'm using spacepilot pro wireless on 10.8.4 - same issue on 10.7.4

Twist does a left-right roll instead of twisting, left-right roll works normally as do all the other axes. Very frustrating ....

Is this a netfabb issue or a 3dconnextion issue?

thanks,
Kevin.

correction: left-right roll axis not working at all - it does nothing, while twist is doing left-right roll.

Netfabb issue.

There's a setting that's either been added or had it's default value changed called "Default Orbit Type" - that is defaulted to "constrained orbit", in order to use the twist axis on your 3DConnexion device that setting needs to be changed to "Free Orbit".

wow - why on earth would they do that?!? I honestly can't remember the last time a deliberate feature caused me so much aggravation
