3D Mouse_Trying to tweak in speeds for PC DMIS

SOLVED-->


You must have PC DMIS open. THEN, go into the 3Dconnexion app to mess with your speeds. It MUST say PCDLRN in 3Dconnexion. Apparently PCDLRN is the name of the PC DMIS CAD environment. I was accidentally closing out of PC DMIS, then editing my speeds in 3d all the while not realizing that I was ACTUALLY messing with speeds for windows explorer & NOT for PC DMIS.

If you look down at 's pic comment, you'll see that when he opened up his snipping tool, 3Dconnexion on his side changed the environment to Snipping tool lol. If he messed with speeds in 3d, it would be for snip & not for his CAD stuff if he wasn't paying attention (like I was doing).

All,

Is there a setting in PC DMIS to turn down the edit window's pan/zoom speed?

I have a 3DCONNEXION Mouse...


I have the mouse's speed all the way down in the 3Dconnexion App. When I go into PC DMIS and try to move a model around, the model still whips around really fast.

When I use the mouse in 3Dconnexion's training app, solidworks, or NX.... it works much slower that PCD (exactly how I'd like it to) which is the frustrating part. It seems like PC DMIS has it's default speeds set much higher than other CAD/CAM software that we have.

Any ideas on how to handle this? My hands are getting tired from all of the "mouse work", would like to start utilizing this mouse more.

Also, would any of you recommend a different mouse/have had good experiences with any other kinds?

  • EDIT TO ADD: After opening the 3dconnexxion settings, click on the DMIS window. Where my screenshot says "SnippingTool" it should say "PCDLRN". You are only adjusting settings for the program shown in the settings window but it is easily changed by clicking on the program you want to make changes for.

    Hit the advanced settings button in the 3D mouse settings window. There are sliders for the individual axis speeds. This is how mine are set.


  • thanks for the advise! I always knew about the speeds and wasn't understanding why it wasn't working until I saw your pic comment. it made me stumble upon my problem and ultimately fix it lol I'll edit the original post with the answer
