Gadget Mode -- can it be turned "off"?
Hi there!
My problem is that I'm trying to model a cartoon figure and that requires a lot of hand-tweaking (as we all know). The thing is, using my tablet (a 20" YiNova) I keep on activating the Gadget Mode because C3D treats 2 clicks as a double-click. The clicks are usually not in the same spot. It's a bit hard to slow down sometimes when I'm in the heat of the moment. But the moment I see the center orb go yellow, I stop whatever I'm doing and hit the ESC key and see what moves I made were just moving the pivot and not vertices.
This does interfere with my workflow. Is there a way to just "turn off" gadget mode (at least that what I think it's called, correct me if I'm wrong)? While I do appreciate it when doing mechanical/architectural models, it's a PITA for me when modeling organic shapes.
While I could use the directional "arrows" to move things, sometimes it's just faster and more intuitive to just move the center of the selection.
Related: this may be me smooshing memories, but wasn't there at one time a "Tweak" mode in C3D? Having access to tools via the contextual menu only makes things difficult sometimes when coming back to C3D after an lengthy absence. (what I would do for a toolbar...)
Thanks for any assist in this!
