nevermind. I found a post in 3dConnexions forum which indicated that separating zoom from rotate is an intentional change in the current drivers to make it more user friendly. sigh.
I finally replaced my serial SpaceBall 4000flx with a USB 5000 to facilitate a KVM switch arrangement I use.
I was very dismayed to find that the motion tracking is nowhere as smooth as my steam powered serial 4000flx. I can't simultaneously rotate and translate. I've turned off the "dominant...
Bbblargh...
I figured out what was wrong. Nevermind.
My assembly is comprised of very interrelated parts. It looks like SWorks got an icecream headache trying to propagate an error caused by circularly referenced parts. I ended up deleting the non rebuilding feature to uncover a chain of errors.
For some reason a part in an assembly I'm working on won't completely rebuild. I can't get rid of the rebuild icon even if I step through each feature in the offending part.
I've tried ctrl-Q, and pacing through the entire assembly to no avail.
I really want to generate some file outputs for...
Usually I like to use the dims as driven by the part design but it goes all messy when I derive parts from a central template drawing. Machinists don't like to see dims related to other parts as they make stuff in the part context. On the design side, many parts dimensions can be driven from the...
I still don't want my drawings to drive part dimensions. I just thought that removing the option to modify dims in drawings was preventing me from selecting dims for repositioning or tolerance adjustment. It turned out that the problem was that selection filter was toggled on.

Agh, nevermind.
I didn't realize that I had selection filters turned on. I didnt' see the little filter logo wasn't showing and I didn't have the filter options visible so I never noticed it was on until I panned off the view.
I made the mistake of not allowing drawings to drive part dimensions which seems to be preventing me from selecting dimensions without having the dimension tool selected. I also can't seem to modify construction geometry I draw on drawings to describe features.
I've poked through the system and...
