How do you manipulate cameras?

The "alt" key shortcuts don't appear to work.

Hello MakeA,

With respect to the camera.
1) make sure your view is set to camera / not perspective.
2) Now you can move the camera, by using the combination of Alt+Right mouse button to move in or out

Alt+middle mouse Button to move left/ right or up and down.

Alt + Mouse down allows you to free rotate around.

Hope this helps, by the way I am using a Wacom tablet and a Pen, so I have my Pen buttons programmed to act as (Left/Right/Middle) mouse buttons.

Regards..

and you must click on ALT over the image of the camera

for example if you have 4 projections, one 2d from the top, another 2d from right view, one 3D perspective, and other 3D camera view - your mouse must be above 3D camera view

Thanks! It's the option key. In the US we have the option key and no alt key.



I have a one-button mouse. What are the keys on the Mac?

THANKS!

The Keys here in Europe is the Alt an mouse to the camera

But if you ask how is the keyboard is simple go to system preferences - Internacional - Input menu - add a language ( from europe ) and after that add like a new language - keyboard viewer ... and in that way you can see...

bur i use a mouse with scroll to make zoom :wink:

The one-button mouse is ORIGINAL FORM APPLE and is OK ... but i quit long time i need more buttons and the scroll is also very need for me...
But apple now has a scroll mouse think to get one...
