#### Available PC-DMIS Functions for SpaceMouse, SpaceBall, or SpacePilot

This topic describes the functions that you can assign to buttons on your SpaceMouse, SpaceBall, or SpacePilot devices. These functions include:

>Ignore motion – Ignores all translation and rotation information from the motion controller.

>Next view – Forces the focus of the motion controller to the next view when multiple views are available.

>Hide/Show IDs – Toggles the display of feature text box label IDs.

>Scale to fit – Performs the standard PC-DMIS scale to fit operation.

>Show cursor – Displays an Auxiliary Cursor on the screen. Used with Center by cursor, PCDMIS zoom, PCDMIS rotate 2D, and PCDMIS rotate 3D.

>Center by cursor – Makes the Show cursor active if it isn't already. Otherwise, wherever the Auxiliary Cursor is located, that will become the center of the screen.

>PCDMIS pan – Pans the Graphics Display window. You can slide the device left or right to PAN LEFT or PAN RIGHT and slide it up or down to PAN UP or PAN DOWN, thereby matching the PAN configuration in the “>CAD PZR” setting. The motion device emulates a joystick type device with this setting.

>PCDMIS zoom – If you have an Auxiliary Cursor active, then the center point of the zoom will be fixed at the Auxiliary Cursor location. If not, PC-DMIS performs a standard zoom operation. You can slide the device forward or backward. Moving the device forward zooms out and moving it backward zooms in. This matches the zoom configuration in the “>CAD PZR” setting.

>PCDMIS rotate 2D – If you have an Auxiliary Cursor active, then the point used to calculate the rotation angle will be fixed at the Auxiliary Cursor location (similar to a right-mouse button 2D rotate). Otherwise, the point used to calculate the rotation angle will be just to the top right of the screen center. In either case, PC-DMIS performs a standard PC-DMIS 2D rotation.

>PCDMIS rotate 3D – If you have an Auxiliary Cursor active, then the point used as the center of rotation will be fixed at the Auxiliary Cursor location (similar to a right-mouse button 3D rotate). Otherwise, the center of rotation will be the screen center. In either case, PC-DMIS performs a standard 3D rotation.

>CAD PZR – Pan, zooms, and rotates (PZR) the part image in the Graphics Display window all at the same time. The center of rotation is always the CAD model, and the zoom reference point is the center of the CAD model. When you start a part program, PC-DMIS turns this function on by default.

>CAD PZR Dominant – Toggles the dominant function of CAD PZR based on the greatest deflection of the SpaceBall axes. This lets you have better control because it filters out less dominant functions. For example, in this mode, if you rotate the axes and a small amount of deflection occurs in pan or zoom, only the dominant function, rotation in this case, will take place. When you start a part program, PC-DMIS turns this function off by default.

>PZR 2sided lighting – Toggles 2 sided lighting when doing a pan, zoom, or rotate (PZR). This attribute is also part of the PZR Options dialog box.

>PZR 1/5th of objects – Toggles the state of displaying only 1/5th (20%) of the objects when doing a PZR. This attribute is also part of the PZR Options dialog box.

>PZR in wireframe – Toggles wireframe mode when doing a PZR. This attribute is also part of the PZR Options dialog box.

>Dialog: PZR options – Displays the PZR Options dialog box.

>Dialog: Cad info – Displays the Cad Information dialog box.

>Dialog: View setup – Displays the View Setup dialog box.

For information on the PZR dialog box see the "Changing Rotation and other Motion Options" topic in the "Editing the CAD Display" section.
