The 3D view controls aren't configurable?

I'm considering a switch to PrusaSlicer from Cura, but may have found a blocker. PrusaSlicer uses the left mouse button to orbit my print. I use Fusion 360 to design and it's not possible to configure Fusion 360 to use the same control because the left mouse button is used for selections (which seems right), and it seems I'm not able to change it in PrusaSlicer either. That's odd. Using different controls in your design and slicer software is really frustrating and inefficient. Is there a method I don't know about to configure PrusaSlicer?

No, but seriously, it only takes a few days to become second nature. I use the same combo of tool and I had to double-check in both programs when I saw your post because I didn't even realize they use different controls, so engrained it had become. But, yeah, sure, it would be nice if it were configurable.

Cura and Fusion 360 were different by default until I changed Fusion to match. I lived with them different for a number of weeks and never did get used to it. I could get used to either quite easily, but both is weird.

HAHA maybe for you.

I have been using this combination for years myself and every time I go into prusa slicer i try to rotate and move using the fusion controls i was just using 2 seconds earlier. and takes me several tries and seconds to readjust. and this is after years of using the 2 together. got tired of it so google it and this it where it brought me. maybe i am just not smart enough. haha
