georgkoehler77@gmx.de Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I want to share an idea I had. I work with SolidWorks and use a 3D mouse from 3Dconnexion for zooming and panning - it would certainly be helpful if Affinity Designer also had driver support for continuous zooming and panning. Product: Space Navigator With kind regards Georg Köhler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac17 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 yes i agree with the above 3dconnexion for zooming and panning would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezorrand Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Not a complete solution, but a bit of a hack. I used these steps, to make my Spacemouse Pro work as a joystick: Community Event / Creation - Sx2vJoy; get your 3DConnexion device working like a 3D joystick (formerly SN2vJoy) | Frontier Forums and then I used XPadder application that can translate joystick movements to mouse or button changes including autofire for faster movement. I then mapped the axises I wanted to certain key combinations and it seems to work ok. Only problem is I can only assign 5 axises with XPadder so I had to leave one unused. Basically: Push down / pull up (set as triggers) : zoom in / zoom out (Ctrl + mousewheel with 0.02s autofire) Twist left / right: rotate image (Alt + mousewheel with 0.02s autofire) Move up/down/left/right : pan image (mousewheel up/down/left/righ with 0.02s autofire) The buttons I could remap already from the 3D Connexion's own software. (Edit: they are remappable to joystick buttons or keyboard keys from Sx2vJoy) XPadder costs a little money, but there are free alternatives that might work e.g. Joy2Key or AutoHotkey Here's an example video: https://youtu.be/YjqWc81uPF8 Edited March 17, 2022 by Rezorrand Added additional info about keymapping.
