The rotate and scale manipulators free transforms work fine. and strangely I just tried that with my trackpad and the location maniuplator works erratically too. however click dragging the centre of the manipulator doesn’t always work, sometimes, mostly placing the 3D cursor instead. Then I thought using the manipulator should be a solution. Also right click dragging doesn’t seem to work. with the iPad set up it won’t show the increase/decrease, but clicking away / or towards usually sets the change, though it’s quite erratic and anyway not ideal as you’re kind of guessing. So for actions like scaling, grabbing, or say changing the brush size in Sculpt mode, normally the movement of the cursor would change the size / location … i.e tapping G and moving a cursor to freely move an object not an option on an iPad.

The problem here is with an iPad there isn’t a cursor as such, with movement via touch. Grabbing / scaling / any actions that requires movement across the screen without contact There is the option to go to Select>Edge Loops and right click on that to create a new shortcut, but that doesn’t allow using mouse clicks and needs two vertices or an edge selected first. If I change the setting to Select with Left Click, Alt+ Click loop selecting works but then navigating and loads of other stuff doesn’t. However if I want to Alt and Right Click an edge loop, using Alt + Command Click (Right Click) doesn’t work, presumably because the Alt+ is being used as a trigger for navigation… Command Click for right clicking, Alt and click to navigate around the scene, with control and shift for zooming and panning respectively. Using an Apple Pencil, with no right click function, setting the “emulate 3 button mouse” option solves most problems working with a single click device brings up. Since the recent Astropad update, it works brilliantly (the last version was too laggy and pixelly when moving around to really be usable).Īlt + Right Click Edge Loop Select with a single click input device
