hollister design Studio Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 When I change a setting in the OIP - say the scale of a viewport - and then want to PAN to a different area of the screen - the action of hitting the Spacebar doesn't PAN it 'undoes' the change I made in the OIP. This is a bit frustrating. It seems like hitting the spacebar is advancing to the next option in an OIP dropdown. How do I turn this behavior off? Quote Link to comment
Boh Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I think you have to click back into the drawing window to activate pan and other drawing tools. 1 Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 One of the problems that happen in so many programs that currently overload the space bar with so many functions. 1 Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I was afraid of that. ...in this usage I wonder what was wrong with using the down arrow to, you know, go down... Quote Link to comment
Mark Aceto Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I really enjoy panning with a MMB: https://3dconnexion.com/us/cadmouse/#compare Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 @Mark Aceto I'm on a wacom so I mostly pan with MMB (my second pen button). Honestly with the number of times I mess up my OIP menu selection by hitting the spacebar to pan, I should just completely abandon that workflow. Plus I've found there is more of a 'pause' between hitting the spacebar and it taking effect than panning with the MMB. I'm also always making a copy of the currently selected object when I'm ctrl+spacebar zooming... I wish there was a (quick) way to zoom without the spacebar - I would LOVE for an Alt+MMB zoom!

Mark Aceto Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 @hollister design Studio I didn't even know about control-spacebar. Evidently that's a shortcut to Things 3 for me to add a new To Do lol. I would think it's pretty easy to program alt-spacebar in your workspace but I'm guessing you've already researched that, and it's dedicated to another command I didn't know about...

C.T Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) @Mark Aceto You have to make sure to press the spacebar before the control + click ones the second mode in the upper toolbar to set as default. Edited March 10, 2021 by C.T Quote Link to comment
C.T Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 @Mark Aceto unfortunately I don't think it's possible to program alt-spacebar as zoom function (see image). Or do you know any other possibility? Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) @C.T @Mark Aceto As far as I've been told you also can't program or change the temporary shortcuts (like MMB+Ctrl for temporary flyover, and MMB or Spacebar for pan, and Spacebar+pause+Ctrl for zoom). It seems like you can only make shortcuts for the tools themselves, but these interfere with whatever tool/command you are presently using, and so are less than useful. And even then are limited to what you can use for the shortcut. It would be VERY nice to be able to program/ self determine all of these temporary shortcuts. This must be possible - they did allow this for the new 'smart options' and 'quick search' - which are temporary and can be called during another operation without canceling the current operation. ...but this is probably a much more complicated tweak than us mere mortal/non programmers/end-users will ever know or understand!
