Explore Tool - Moving Automatically

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:34:22 GMT

When I am in a generic perspective view and choose the explore icon to walk through the model, the software sometimes has an autolock in a particular direction. In my case once the explore icon is engaged my view automatically pans to the left as if I where holding down the left arrow or the A key. If i press the opposite key which would be right arrow or D key, then the action is countered and causes the camera to be stationary/ in the default position.
I'm not sure what's causing this or what the solution is while I am in the same session. I know if I close the session and reopen it will usually fix this issue, but thats killing my workflow. Any one know?

As soon as I posted this, I went to recreate the scenario and this time after pressing the opposite direction and letting go of the key, the issue was resolved.? IDK? other times this has not been the case.

Reboot fixes this for me on the extremely rare occassion it happens.

I recall someone recently posting there is a key combination or mouse click thing you could do to cause it, but I couldn't replicate it when I tried.

Thanks Erwin,

I guess its just a minor glitch in the tool.
