Use ALT type orbit by default?

Hi, Is there a way to set Onshape up such that I get the style of orbit when pressing alt without pressing alt? Essentially, make turntable orbit the default and trackball when pressing alt?

I have a CAD Mouse from 3Dconnexion that lets you set a button to be alt+rmb - would be nice if it was an account option though.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

Lee says correctly.If the ALT key is pressed more easily controlled ORBIT.In the settings make this mode (by pressing ALT) - it was good.0

You could use something like Autohotkey to remap your RMB to Alt+RMB, but only when an OnS was open.
Speaking of which, what's the preferred acronym around here? OS, OnS, Os, O!, etc ?0 -
Regarding the acronym, I believe it is OSThere are 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary, those who don't and those who didn't expect base 3!0

This is damned anoying and means I have to type an extra 4 characters at the end of each comment rather than just signing with my initials.Lee_Hesketh said:Regarding the acronym, I believe it is OS
I asked OS to change their product name but for some reason didn't get a reply :'(

@mahir How do I use AutoHotkey to only trigger on OS sites?There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary, those who don't and those who didn't expect base 3!0

@Lee_Hesketh, after poking around a bit, it looks like AHK can only filter based on window title. OS doesn't insert any recognizable text into the window title - only the document and tab name. It's a bit hokey, but you could use the IfWinActive AHK command to only change the mouse button mapping when specific documents are open. Unfortunately, you would have to keep adding documents to your AHK script as they're created/used. There may be some homebrew AHK function out there that can extract the current web address. If so, you could filter based on cad.onshape.com. There may also be other automation apps besides AHK that can do a better job of filtering keymaps by website. Maybe a Chrome extension for mouse gestures? It's worth looking into.0

For the acronym, it would be more clear to use Ons or something other than OS since that is commonly used for Operating System.
Can I use OS in my OS and what if I use another OS recommended by OS who is successfully using OS with his OS even though OS official site says...
(No Owens were harmed during this example.
We can't expect everyone living in Ons forums like some of us do, so I think it's better to honor acronyms commonly used elsewhere.//rami0 -

I've used the term SW here intending to abreviate SoftWare, but in this context the reader may assume I meant SolidWorks, so it seems to be a CAD problem.

there should definitely be an option to make turntable be the default.0
-
please make turntable mode as a default option. its incredibly annoying to have my projects unintentionally turn upside down.0
-
Make an improvement request (IR) in the appropriate forum category (see the list of categories on the RH side of the page) and then link to the request here. Other users can vote for it and if enough do eventually, it will get implemented at some point in the future.0
-
This comes up often and there's an improvement request for it. Personally I only want turntable in very select situations, and I'm happy with the current arrangement, but if it gets implemented in a user-specific preference, I'm happy for the people that want turntable to be default.
