Hello,
With the latest update it seems there were camera controls added in the keyboard options using Ctrl+PageUp/Down and Shift+PageUp/Down.
First of all, this causes a conflict with the nudge commands setup in the modelling aids.
Second: When pressing Shift+PageUp/Down (we have it set to nudge 5mm in modeling aids), it triggers the following error:
*Command: '_ZoomLens
Click and drag in perspective viewport to adjust lens length, or type lens length ( In Out ): _Out
Cannot adjust camera lens length in parallel viewport.
*
After this the camera does not function properly anymore while running another command, after attempting pan/rotate/zoom, the view will snap back to the initial position. The command however does react as if the camera has been updated, for example while placing points or using scale or rotate functions. After finishing the command the camera will update to its final position.
Besides this behaviour both the crosshair and guiding lines are not visible while running commands. Any points placed while for example drawing a curve are not visible while the command is running.
To reproduce:
Open a rhino file
Set your Shift nudge to 5mm in modelling aids if not set already
Press Shift+PageUp or Down to trigger the error
draw a curve and try to place points and manipulate the camera while running the command.
finish the command
Our solution for now is to delete the added keyboard commands to restore the nudge functionality.
Hopefully you can still take a look at this. Because the problem caused by double key bindings by using standard rhino options is still there. We can now manually solve this, but gives trouble with new installtions.
Which EVERYONE changes first thing. The rationale for that being the default is really sketchy, trying to help hapless users who just randomly pound the keyboard from screwing up their obviously otherwise pristine geometry. The ability to rotate the view with the keyboard is something that would normally be an obscure accessibility feature.
I have no issue removing those from the defaults, I don’t even know why these were added. RH-84449 Zoomlens keyboard shortcuts cause conflicts with nudge
Yes, and: When you run ZoomLens and click the In or Out option from the command bar, it triggers weird camera behaviour during commands as explained in my original post.
After investigation, these zoomlens shortcuts have been in Rhino forever, so this won’t be fixed.
The only difference in Rhino 8 is that they are now exposed.
That is expected behavior, there is no lens length in orthogonal views. Probably you are hovering over the top view when you are reaching for that command option?
