Button Customization

The Button Customization dialog box lets you map any given command or macro to a device button. This dialog box can be accessed from the 3Dx Device toolbar.

Overview




  • The Device list displays the name of the device you are using.
  • The Button Configuration list displays the default configurations available as well as the configurations you created.
  • The command icon displays the mapped command icon (if available) as shown on a toolbar.
  • The button drag-and-drop area displays the title of the command or macro which is currently assigned to the corresponding device button. For instance, the Redo command has been assigned to "Button 2".

Similarly, if you use the SpacePilot with a driver anterior to 5.0.7, only the former default configuration is available:
