Not smooth movement #6

Hi, thanks for the plugin. I was trying to find why the movement is not fully smooth like in inventor. It seems that Cura tries to adjust the zoom on some rotations:

Side to side is all ok, and also zoom, but movements with more components there is a clear "stepped" zoom in/out.

In your code I have already tried:

  1. With the config.json (setting the values to high/low) and the (cura automatic) zoom step is the same
  2. Removed zoom completely commenting: image

There is no zoom as result, but cura adds that stepped zoom anyways

  1. Making _getScalingDueToZoom to answer always 1.0, also not a fix.

Any hint what could be generate that stepped zoom?

Hi. Sorry, no, I don't know what is causing that. On Linux, I don't see a stepped zoom, all movements are reasonably smooth. Is it the same for both perspective and orthographic view modes?

Does it also behave like this if you disable the 3dconnextion driver?

You don't say what system you are using but I'm guessing Windows. On my Windows 10 laptop which is very slow and in every way under-performing, the movement in all axes is a little jittery but the zoom is no worse than the other axes.

The movement is silky smooth with 3dxWare off :)

Actually, if I open the settings in 3dxware and remove all functions on "cura.exe" then it is smooth everywhere keeping it on! :D
