I have struggled recently with the fact that whenever I wouldmove or rotate my model with my 3DConnexion SpacePilot, I foundthat the Dynamic Highlight and Display Dimensions Flat to Screenwould turn off. I know they turn off by themselves occasionally,with no explanation, but I finally figured out that it was the useof my controller that was doing it pretty much every time I usedit.
The end result to fix that situation was to hit the calibratebutton. Hmm, why?
What I found out was that their software turns those settings offevery time as it rotates, and then turns them back on when youstop. It makes sense in that it reduces the video load. But whatwas happening is that it was out just a bit - enough for it tothink it was still in a move mode, but not enough for me to see themodel walk off the screen. By calibrating it, it then knew I hadstopped and would turn those settings back on properly.
It used to work - what made it go out? Who knows - maybe storms,plugging and unplugging to use it on another machine, etc. Don'tknow, but now it apprears to work.
So hopefully this will save someone else the headache that I wentthrough to figure it out.
