You can customize the mouse behavior for pan, zoom, and orbit functions in Fusion by adjusting the Pan, Zoom, Orbit shortcuts within your preferences. This allows you to set navigation controls that align with other CAD applications you might be familiar with.
Adjusting Mouse Behavior for Navigation
Changing your Fusion controls primarily involves modifying the way your mouse interacts with the 3D canvas for navigation. Follow these steps to customize your pan, zoom, and orbit shortcuts:
- Access Preferences: First, navigate to Fusion's preferences. This is usually found under your user profile icon or the main application menu.
- Select General Settings: In the preferences dialog box, look for and click on General in the list of options. This section contains various fundamental settings for Fusion.
- Locate Navigation Shortcuts: Within the "General" settings, scroll down until you find the section labeled Pan, Zoom, Orbit shortcuts.
- Choose Your CAD Application: From the available options, select the CAD application whose mouse behavior you are most comfortable with. This selection will instantly change Fusion's mouse behavior for pan, zoom, and orbit actions to match the chosen application. This is particularly useful for users transitioning from other design software.
- Explore Other General Options: While you are in the "General" preferences page, take some time to scroll through and review the other available options. You might find additional settings that can further enhance your workflow and tailor Fusion to your preferences.
By following these steps, you can effectively modify your Fusion controls related to 3D navigation, making your design process more intuitive and efficient.
