Device tab Turn off Rotation Lock Turn off Dominant Leave Horizon Lock on Ignore Roll being disabled, because that appears intentional

screenshot your 3d connexion settings with chief as your active window, is spin and tilt toggled on? Also is Chief being seen as the program in focus?

this setup is described in more detail here if it helps you: https://renerabbitt.github.io/ppx18-manual/?chapter=spec-plan-project-information

Are you on X18? use the new cladding features and add any type of board and batten that pleases you

You have PPX17, there are upgrade codes for PPX18 in your accounts tab. PPX18 has an automatic CSV reader that is already setup for you in a CAD detail. See this chapter: https://renerabbitt.github.io/ppx18-manual/?chapter=jobtread-buildertrend-spreadsheet-linking

zooming shouldnt be slow. you may want to send views as plot plan instead of live view and set your layout to update on demand instead of always updating views. You can always just send a CAD detail to your template layout page from your plan where your project information is stored. Create a CAD detail, create your info such as client/designer information in that CAD detail, and send that CAD detail to layout. Leave your plan gutted and this will become your template project. See video for example: 260730 (6).mp4

3dConnexion driver registers as a HID device with MacOS so the setting "ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" toggled off for the trackpad is your first option. Regarding the device falling asleep, when the 3dmouse goes idle, an event timer through MacOS likely puts the device to sleep through power management. You might be able to force a wake state hit command+spacebar and type Terminal then press your return key and type in caffeinate -iu -t 28800 this will tell the OS not to timeout for 8 hours If you want to cancel this go to that terminal window and press ctrl+c Dont close the terminal window, leave it open, then test your 3dmouse regarding mac options, youre limited to 4 radial menus, no workaround for that

This takes a bit of specialized scripting and approach but I would still ask the question why do you need this why aren't you just inputting your project information in the layout only?

I'm just now seeing this. Fyi I think I mentioned in another thread to show me a function and I could give you an 260730 (3).mp4 function. What you show in vector works is what chief called an advanced spline. It's nearly the same function

I do this as well but am definitely having double click issues...I will switch to another mouse to test. I don't plan on turning off logi options like joe since I use hotkeys.

If you are using a template project(pre-populated layout from plan, then this requires a pretty custom setup. why do you need this in your plan file? If instead you are using the New Project work flow, then in preferences this will help you: Personally I use a separate plan for all spec and title block info which pre-populates a bunch of different layout templates for me

3d connexxion mouse has entered the chat hope you all reported this

So I actually did notice the same thing and I thought it was just my mouse because I was noticing it on someone else's machine when I was remotely connected but it would make sense of course if it was just an issue across Chief Architect We should all report it
