What causes excessive movement of object with slight movement of mouse?

[danb4026]

Every once in a while I run into a situation where objects will move, rotate, etc. a tremendous amount when I only want to move them a little. Once it starts, I have not been able to stop it from happening. Sometimes if I restart max the problem is resolved, sometimes not.

 

I've tried resetting xform, making sure I am near 0,0,0...etc., but to no avail.

 

What causes this crazy behavior and is there and easy fix?

Dan,

Have you un-checked Selection Sensitivity on the Viewport Configuration -> Steering Wheels tab?

[danb4026]

Bev, It was checked....I just unchecked it. Not sure what that does, but we shall see. The problem is sporatic , but a real pain in the ars when it starts.

 

Thanks for the tip.

Check how far your model is from the origin. Cad models sometimes have their origin miles away from the model. This results on all coord numbers being huge.

As a result when they are rounded up or down accuracy is lost

Bev, my hero... why does this happen? Happens on and off with me too. Especially when working with File Link Manager...

It happens often when Autocad Files are linked. Esp if those models are created using blocks.
