AutoCAD Features

SpaceMouse

Object Mode

The SpaceMouse cap represents the model (object) on your screen. The model mirrors all movements of the cap. For more information please refer to your AutoCAD documentation.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap right, the model moves to the right. Twist the cap to the right and your model rotates in place to the right. Lift the cap up/down and the model moves up/down.

Fly Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport (camera) inside a scene. The viewport mirrors all movements of the cap. For more information and finding out how to enable this mode please refer to your AutoCAD documentation.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your view to the right. Twist the cap right to turn your view to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your view up

Drone Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport inside your scene. The viewport mirrors all movements of the cap. While moving forward when looking down, the viewport maintains its altitude over your scene, allowing you to ‘hover’ over it.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your view to the right. Twist the cap right to turn your view to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your view up. Push the cap forward while looking down to your scene and your view will move forward parallel to the ground.

2D Mode

Navigate the view without any rotation. The view moves in the same direction as the cap. For more information and finding out how to enable this mode please refer to your AutoCAD documentation.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your model to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your model up.

Auto Rotation Center

Sets the center of rotation dynamically, depending on your model’s position in relation to your view. When the complete model is in view, the entire model’s volume center is used as a pivot. When moving closer, the pivot changes to the view center.

Selected Item Rotation Center

Takes only selected items into account when calculating the pivot position.

Horizon Lock

Forces the horizon to be kept levelled.

Rotation Lock

Manually toggles rotations On / Off.

Sketch Lock

Allows you to automatically turn rotations off when entering sketch mode.
