This is specifically about navigation in a 3d perspective OpenGL view, using a 3dconnexion wired Spacemouse Pro device.
It's not a problem with simple models. However, on two separate, relatively large/complex models drawn in VW2018 and imported to VW2021, I find that navigating them with the 3dconnexion device is considerably less smooth in VW2021 than it is in VW2018. There is a lot of jerking and stuttering.
Given that 2021 is supposed to have had various improvements to the graphics module since 2018, it's obviously rather disappointing that it produces a worse experience, using the exact same hardware and same file.
While I'm aware that problems might be arising from the 3dC device/driver, rather than Vectorworks, the only thing that has changed is Vectorworks. It produces good results with 2018 so why not 2021?
I'm wondering if there are any suggestions as to settings that I could try fiddling with - I think I've tried all the obvious ones.
And is it possible that it's connected with the files having been imported rather than originated and drawn in VW2021?
