osx keyboard

Post by wntsea »

Hi,

I am using MacBook Pro without mouse. I don't know how to control such as translation or rotating with the trackpad. The key shown in the help doesn't work. Could you tell me how to handle the object in the Anatomist with my MacBookPro and trackpad?

Thank you.

Hi,
Well, I don't know... we don't have a Mac laptop and have only tested with a real mouse... Generally the "control" key is replaced with the "apple" key on Macs, and rotation/translation are done using the middle mouse button. I don't know if there is some way to emulate it in the Mac settings. On a linux laptop it is generally done by pressing both trackpad buttons, but I don't even know if a Mac trackpad has buttons... Anyway the best and most comfortable solution is to plug a mouse.

Thank you for your reply. I tried a 3 button mouse and found out it worked successfully. But, I usually don't use a mouse with my MBP. Anyway, at least I can use Anatomist if I want. Thank you.
