Inventor viewing Problem

[Jscott85]

Hello all, I am having a problem (im sure it is simple) everytime I intend to change my view of the item I am working on, it zooms very far out and I have to zoom in again, it becomes very inconvenient, I am sure its a setting of some sort. Any advice would be welcomed.

THank you!

Hello Justin,

 

I can't say that I have experienced your problem with Inventor - although I had something very similar when I tried using Inventor Fusion. What version of Inventor are you using? Are all your drivers up to date?

 

I know that this involves spending a little money, but I have found the best, fastest and most rewarding method of viewing a 3D model is to ignore all pre-set views and use a space mouse - in my case that is a 3D Connexion "Space Navigator."

There are two versions of this - one for education and one for retail. If you can get gold of an education version they are a lot cheaper and EXACTLY the same as the full retail version.

 

There is one other make that springs to mind where everything is incorporated into the mouse itself, although I have never actually had one of these in my hands:

I would not be without my space mouse and would replace it immediately if it ever failed.

 

Hoping this is of some use to you.

 

Regards.
