Issue

Currently when exiting a sketch (like when extruding part of the sketch) it is frustratingly difficult to break the camera orientation lock with the 3DConnexion Spacemouse. The spacemouse needs to be at maximum travel for approx. 1 second before the orientation lock breaks, at which point the camera moves extremely fast since the mouse is at maximum travel.

Suggested solution

I think some tuning needs to happen here to find a good balance between breaking orientation lock when not intended vs current implementation. Maybe half travel and half time required as a start?

Tested config

Windows 10, Spacemouse Wireless

I find that the Spacemouse (USB, default settings, MacOS) works better in Shapr than any other CAD/3D I use. In the opposite, I often to easily jumps out of the lock when zooming. Could it be it a Windows issue?

I suppose it’s a non-zero possibility that the issue only exists on the windows app/ windows Spacemouse driver.

Generally, I have few complaints about the Spacemouse support in Shapr3d, but this one is particularly frustrating.

I just wanted to chime in to not fix something that works (so well!). Understand that the behavior is a major headache.
