Enable multitouch: Enable or disable multi-touch functionality in DS Mechanical.
Use style: Select either of the following, then set the options in the Settings section.
Timing-based: This mode automatically chooses touch functions based on the amount of time a touch signal is maintained. For example, using two fingers moving together to immediately drag invokes panning, while holding two fingers down for a while, then moving them, invokes what are normally right-mouse-button drag mouse gestures.
Gizmo-based: Existing mouse buttons and popular keyboard buttons are placed in an on-screen gizmo, to clearly map existing functions onto the touch interface. This mode is intended to transition existing DS Mechanical users to the touch interface.
See Using a multitouch screen for more information about multitouch styles.
Show touch spots: Displays a red filled circle at the location of the recognized pen or touch locations on the screen. This was added to facilitate online demos, so the viewer can see where fingers are touching on the remote screen.
The options in this section change depending on your Use style setting.
If you select Timing-based, then you can set Query next direction: Set the direction of flick-based query. The default is up.
If you select Gizmo-based, then you can set Gizmo configuration: Select Switch buttons to reverse the direction of the gizmo. The default gizmo is configured for right-handed use and the reversed gizmo is configured for left-handed use.
