Does this happen to anyone else?

Yeah, I actually did that once back when I was using SU several hours a day to design a couple of my projects.

When I am at work, well when I am at my place of employment, I have a similar problem. I have to swap between dimensional drawings and a proprietary three dimensional modeling application (that has tools like SU). It always takes my mind a couple of attempts or mouse movements to grasp that I have switched.

Thanks for bring this topic up. Maybe we could coin a phrase for it.

That condition is known as “Orbit Brain” and I have suffered from it

I roll the scroll wheel up and down, trying to zoom in and out, which is an AutoCAD thing.

OK so I am not alone. Thank god I thought I was the only one.

JJohnston, it’s not only AutoCAD; it’s also Creo CAD!

Is that what you use to draw up gumbo recipies?

JJohnston,

Creo Elements/Direct Express is a 3D modelling CAD program from PTC, Parametric Technologies Corporation. It’s free and I have been using it since about 2000 when it was called Solid Designer from Co|Create.

Co|Create was a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard; later bought by PTC and they have kept the free versions and updates. It was called Solid Designer, One Space, and now Creo Elements/Direct Express.

I create a lot of maps on the computer…I’ve caught myself trying to point out features with my mouse on a map on the wall behind my computer ;-)
