Navegación Ratón
The FreeCAD mouse model consists of the commands used to visually navigate the 3D space and interact with the objects displayed. There are currently 3 different mouse navigation schemes in FreeCAD. The default navigation style is referred to as "CAD Navigation," and is very simple and practical, but FreeCAD also has two alternative navigation styles modeled after Inventor and Blender navigation.
La manipulación de objetos es común a todos los entornos de trabajo. Las siguientes acciones del ratón se pueden utilizar para controlar la posición y visualización de los objetos de acuerdo con el estilo de navegación que esté seleccionado.
Hay dos formas de cambiar el estilo de navegación:
- En el Editor de Preferencias, sección Display, pestaña Vista 3D;
- Pulsando con el botón derecho en un área vacía de la vista 3D y seleccionando Estilo de navegación en el menú contextual.
Este es el estilo de navegación por defecto y permite al usuario un control simple de la vista, y no requiere el uso del teclado con la excepción de la realización de selecciones múltiples. Template:CAD Navigation/es
En la Navegación de Inventor, no se puede seleccionar sólo con el ratón. Para seleccionar objetos, debes mantener presionada la tecla CTRL. Template:Inventor Navigation/es
En la Navegación de Blender, no se puede hacer un encuadre sólo con el ratón. Para hacer un encuadre, debes mantener presionada la tecla SHIFT.
In Touchpad Navigation, neither panning, nor zooming, nor rotating the view, are mouse-only (or touchpad-only) operations.
Seleccionando objetos
Simple selection
Objects can be selected by a click with the left mouse button either by clicking on the object in the 3D-view or by selecting it in the tree view.
Preselection
There is also a Preselection mechanism that highlights objects and displays information before selection by just hovering the mouse over the objects. If you don't like this behaviour or you have a slow machine, you can switch preselection off in the preferences.
Manipulating Objects
FreeCAD offers manipulators that are handles that can be used to modify an object's appearance, shape, or other parameters.
The clipping plane is a good example of an object with manipulators. A clipping plane can be activated with the View→Clipping Plane menu. After activation the clipping plane object appears and shows seven obvious manipulators as little boxes: One on each end of its three coordinate axes and one on the center of the plane normal axis. There are four more that are not as obvious: The plane itself and the thin part of the three axis objects.
- Scaling
- To scale the object click with the left mouse button on the box manipulators at the end of the axes and pull them back and forth. Depending on the object the manipulators work independently or synchronously.
- Out of plane shifting
- To shift the object along its normal vector, pull the long box on the center of an axis with the left mouse button. For the clipping plane there is only one manipulator along the normal vector.
- In plane shifting
- To move the center of the clipping plane, click on the plane object and pull it to the desired location.
- Rotation
- Clicking on the thin part of the axes puts the manipulator in rotation mode.
Hardware support
FreeCAD also supports some 3D input devices.
Mac OS X Issues
Recently we got reports on the forum from Mac users that those mouse button and key combination do not work as expected. Unfortunately, none of the developers owns a Mac, neither do the other regular contributors. We need your help to determine which mouse buttons and key combination work so we can update this wiki.
