barnes2000 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Has anyone that uses this device been able to get the Touch Ring to control Zoom in Vectorworks, like you can with a scroll wheel on a mouse? The touch ring works great in photoshop, but I can't get scroll or zoom to work in Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Same here. The Touch Ring is just a terrible substitute for VW Zoom. I usually put my old Space Navigator on the large bezel of my Ciniq. But still just a workaround. Setting Pen Button 2 to that drag/zoom functions does work for me in other Apps (like Bricscad) but not in VW. I think there are situations where I would miss the middle mouse button in VW on Button 2 though. What I would like would be a key combination that would allow VW's Zoom about Cursor center by dragging with left mouse button, like other Apps do. Also there is no problem to Zoom, Pan and Rotate - without a scroll wheel - in any of my 3D Apps. C4D, Modo, Blender, all offer key combinations for all view Navigation with either left mouse button only or combinations of all 3 mouse buttons. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I use a Wacom Intus Pro M that has that same ring on the side. It scrolls VW without any problems. But the settings for it is a little repetitive. 1 Quote Link to comment
barnes2000 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 @michaelk I had an Intuous 4 before this with the ring built in, and it scrolled and zoomed as well. I just upgraded to the Cinitq Pro 16. It has no built in ring, so I bought the Express Key Remote, but the ring does nothing in Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hmh, no, for me it does. It is just no fun to use. Not as completely unreliable like that touch sensor stripe my 90ies telephone had at that time, to scroll through saved numbers. But your finger tip does not really glide on the touch ring surface and I did not find any reasonable speed setting that would allow for comfortable and reliable scrolling. Quote Link to comment
