Postby phizikl » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:37 pm

hi

i have installed the new drivers and older beta drivers,
both for max2012

the plugin is installed and the startup script

the pilot works in the demos,

but in max i get no reaction

with the new drivers the pilot does not even say 3dsmax on lcd,with the old ones it does, but i do not get any rotation in my viewport

i have the old space pilot

it used to work great!

Please include more information.

Which driver do you currently have installed?
Did you perform a clean uninstall when switching between Beta and the current 3.15.3 driver?
http://www.3dconnexion.com/faq/28

Try the below steps after performing a clean install.
The 3Dconnexion plug-in in Maya depends on the command MagellanStartup being executed by the usersetup.mel. When another script or add-in is installed it can overwrite the 3Dconnexion usersetup.mel.

To confirm this is the problem you are seeing, type "MagellanStartup" [ without the quotes ] at the Maya command line. This should enable navigation. If it does not, it will generate an error that will let us know what the problem is.

If your 3Dconnexion device starts when you type "MagellanStartup" at the command prompt but is not auto-starting, that would indicate the MagellanStartup; command needs to be added to your active usersetup.mel.

Maya will only load the first usersetup.mel it finds. If you have other scripts or add-ins such as Maya's Bonus Tools or GoZ , they add their own usersetup.mel files. To find which version of usersetup.mel Maya is using , at the Maya command line type

whatIs userSetup.mel

Open the usersetup.mel and add the line MagellanStartup; at the end. If you do not have any versions of usersetup.mel, you can create one - a plain text file with a single line

MagellanStartup;

If you are still seeing a problem, please let us know whether MagellanStartup enables navigation and any messages displayed in the Maya console

3ds MAX 2012 Space navigator don't work

Postby HalasKYO » Thu May 10, 2012 1:06 am

Hi!
I used my space pilot with 3ds max 2011, and installed the 2012.
In 2012 the 3d mouse doesn't work. I try to upgrade wizard, but nothing.
I tryed to uninstall full, delete from registry and reinstall the newest.
Still the same problem, in tutorial it works, but in soft, doesn't.
Can you help me ?
Thanks!
Peter
