One year ago today, on April 20th, 2016, Dasher 360 was born. Here's the email I sent one year ago to Simon – the other developer working on the project – on creation of the Git repo. For the first day of its life, Dasher 360 didn't even embed the Forge viewer. 🙂 Things have […]

A few weeks ago I received an invitation from an Autodesk customer – Audemars Piguet, a luxury watchmaker based here in Switzerland in the town of Le Brassus – to have a tour of their museum and production facility. So it was that yesterday I headed across to the Vallée de Joux with my friend […]

To follow up on the last post – where we talked about adding a custom tool to provide better support for pinch gestures – today we're going to talk about some other possibilities for supporting touch in the Forge viewer. Once again we're using Autodesk.Viewing.ToolController & ToolInterface. The Forge viewer uses Hammer.js internally to support […]
