Hi GMAN,

How does CATIA lock up? Does the 3DxWare driver consume all of the system CPU time?

Jim

Yes, the bug is in the beta. I just found the problem yesterday, and I released the beta to manufacturing last week. I'll fix it.

GE Launch panel? Not sure what you mean. GE does have some settings that effect 3Dx devices in Tools->Options->Navigation

Hi Jerry, Sorry. Was a bit of a Dilbert moment there--I'm an engineer, it's my job to bury you in useless info, yet not answer your question <G>. The GUI does not have any way of allowing you to swap axes in any arbitrary way. You should first try changing the Zoom direction in the Device Configurat...

AXIS MAPPING You can rearrange the motion axes of the device. The GUI does this when you switch the zoom direction or select Reverse All Axes. This mapping is controlled by a setting in the config file. You can map any axis to any direction you want, but we definitely suggest sticking with the optio...

Please see this other thread for more information on Inventor button mappings and saved configurations. http://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=644#644 When an application has an application-specific panel, please use that panel where possible. In this case, you should be using the 3DxInven...

For building the demos, make sure you are building the x86 solution target, not the x64 target. You can change compiler switches as necessary to get the solution to build with the version of the compiler you have. On your code, m_hWnd has to be initialized to the hwnd of the OpenGL window. This prob...

You can switch the direction of any axis by editing the config file used by the application. See which config file is being used by hovering over the 3Dx icon in the system try while the app is running. It will show the filename (e.g., user01.scg). Find this file either under the 3DxWare directory o...

Hi Dan,
What happens in an html page?
I don't have a java build environment now, so I can't debug it.
One thing to check: If you have 3DxOffice installed, uninstall it. Look in the Add/Remove Panel. It will steal all the events being sent to an IE window.

Hi Dan, What problem are you having that indicates that it won't work? Does it never get events? If so, it is probably because the driver can't find your applet insidet the web page. There is a function called SiGrabDevice that you can use to tell the driver to send all events to your app regardless...

For what it's worth, the graph is gone but the mechanism is still there. If you really need to change the shape of the response curve, you can change the registry value that the graph controlled. The driver will read it the next time it starts. The value is in: HKCU\Software\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Nonl...

Hi Dan, Do you mean console as in Windows console (no GUI, no Windows main loop), or console as in xbox 360/ps3/Wii? If the former, there is some sample Java code that you may be able to use on: ftp://ftp-us.3dconnexion.com/jni login: jni password: dev1221 JNIsiapp.zip contains a JNI version of the ...
