Please: Make rotation work (right)

think I have found the solution to this. was having the same issue with the centre point of the orbit at the back of the bed.

 

Settings > General > Viewport Behavior > Centre Camera when item is selected.

 

Now, after I click on the model, it orbits around that model.

 

Works with 'Zoom towards mouse' either on or off

    Glad to hear about the work around.

     

    If it can't be fixed, can you pop up a window when your model shoots off the end of the screen telling people to turn off the mouse-zoom option? :-P

     

    That's in jest, but honestly if there's a known problem with a known workaround, DO put it in tooltips or something - I don't want to hop on one foot while using your package, but if it'll save me a day of messing around then I'll do it if someone tells me it works.

    I use a wacom and have finally figured out how to finally zoom in an out and pan using the pen so rotation or anything else is no longer a problem. Using shift and ctrl with pen clicks (mouse clicks) gives me all the control i need now. Not sure if that will work for non wacom users but should do?

    Thats the way I use it on my MacBook Touchpad. The behavior in Fusion 360 is better in my opinion, but I got used to it in Cura and it works for the few things I do there.

    Thats good to know. As i have a mac laptop too with no mouse. The navigation in cura is not ideal, but its like zbrush. Its ok once you get the hang of it. I only have ctrl, shift, alt and space on my wacom tablet so those keys and a mouse/pen/touchpad is all you should need. Id rather prioritise alternate functions in support generation or other stuff in cura rather than rotation personally. But thats because i figured out the interface.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
