When I'm using trueSpace7.5 with my Wacom tablet (in other words, all the time), whenever I go to the second monitor and try to use the navigation widget to move the camera around a Workspace view, the view goes totally nuts. Or, when I'm on monitor 1 and try to do the same, even though the view I'm editing is on monitor 1 and the cursors travels to monitor 2, the view also goes nuts.


So, better support for tablets?


Also, support for 3D Connexion's line 3D mouse hardware would be nice. We sorta-kinda had it through a beta plugin in tS6.x, and the plugin still works in the Model view in tS7.5, but doesn't function at ALL in Workspace view. Think how easy it would be to, say, animate a camera path w/ such a mouse, moving in all directions at once, just like real movie cameras work...see why this would be a good thing?

While on the Beta team I was told that it would not be too hard to implement support for the SpaceNavigator (or similar) but that it would have to be after 7.5 release.

I use my Spacenavigator a lot in model side and that is why I rarely use workspace...it simply is not supported yet...:(

If you go to the Model side, File/Preferences and click on 'Tablet' that is supposed to give Tablet support. There is also an option about dual monitors which you asked about elsewhere.


Which Wacom tablet are you using? I use an Intuos3 and have had zero trouble on the Workspace side. I don't know if the Model side preferences apply to the Workspace side or not. Hmm...

I also have Intuos 3 and am having the same problem. While using a widget if I get to the edge of the tablet it goes crazy spinning around like the value went to infinity.

I know the symptom, it did that on me when I first got 7.5 and I was using a Wacom Graphire 4 . But then a few days later I got my Intuos 3 (mainly for Corel Painter X) and have had no problems.

BTW-do both of you have the latest Wacom Intuos driver?
BTW2-does the problem happen with the mouse and the pen or just the pen?

I have 6.02-1 drivers.


LOL I don't even remember where I put the mouse... was pretty useless on the 4x6 size tablet. So yeah, pen's only thing I've tried with it.

I use an old wacom from the UD series and have the same problem here to. I believe I have the latest drivers that wacom supply for my tablet.

I have a wacom graphire 4 x 6. When I use the pen and get near the edge it does the crazy infinity thing but when I use the mouse it works as expected.

I'm using the newest drivers (released not long ago) for a 12x18 Intuos 2 - I don't like the hard plastic or the buttons on the 3s.


This happens w/ Tablet in Model view checked, though when in the Model view the problem doesn't occur, making me believe that the setting only applies for Model view, not Workspace view.
