3Dconnexion Forum

Jwik, Point taken, it is once again a conflict between hardware vs software. I have used PTC products for 15 years now and SW products for 3 years; it's worth mentioning that none of my previous grips with WF2 and 64 bit (SpaceExplorer & PDM compatability) can be made with 2006 & 2007 releas...

Jwik & Ageonczi, Thanks for the response and confirmastion that PTC are too blame! Surprise surprise. I say this as the company i am currently contracting for have discovered that are new (soon to be rolled out) PDM system ALSO will not work with WF2 64-bit!!! So they are finally going to be bra...

Hi agoenczi,

I have been really busy so have only now had a chance to try your latest suggestion ....... it did not work!

I am glad to see that i am not the only person who is having this problem.

The demo works (3dcube).

Failure 1. Use a 64 bit machine, windows XP pro, driver 3.1.8. This should mean that you have the pull down menu in WF2, short cut buttons ..... but no manipulation on screen. Failure 2. Use a 64 bit machine, windows XP pro, driver 3.0.9. This should mean that you can manipulate the model on screen ...

Dear agoenczi, I have tried everyting now. You last advice sounds like you are 'clutching at straws' and short on answers (no offence). Probably not surprising as 64 bit has not been around for long. I will have to spend yet more time now converting this back to the previous driver, which did work o...

I have found the serial number and registered properly .... still not working. I no longer get the 'failed to load 3dxProengineer' message when i boot up WF2, i've got the pull down menu in WF2, so it all looks perfect, aprat from the fact i can't move the model onscreen!

Help

More info for you, i have rebooted again and i still can't move the CAD model .... but all of the buttons on the device work!!! Whats going on?

Looking forward to your help on this once again.

I have just gone back to my ProE screen and noticed that for the first time i now have the 3dxProengineer pull down menu .... but still can't move the model on screen. Thinking about this, the only problem i had was when i tried to complete the automated registration web page that pops up; i couldn'...

I have completely removed (regedit and all) 3dconnexion software, downloaded the 55Mb 3.1.8 driver ..... and it doesn't work. The device has power to it (blue light pipe is illuminated) and i can open the control panel, but i i can't manipuylate my CAD model onscreen!!! What do i do now? I clearly c...

Thanks, i'll try that and will let you know my progress.

Thanks once again.

Thanks for the support.

Agoencz1,

I have turned the 'write log file' on, what extension does the file have and where is it stored?

Regards

Arlo

Thanks for the response. I have updated the latest driver as you suggest ..... no difference, it still says 'failed to load 3dxPROENGINEER' when i boot the CAD software?!?!

I am using WF2 on a new 64-bit machine and my new SpaceExplorer (which i love by the way) works, but when i boot the CAD software it informs me that the ProE driver is not installed ....... up shot is that i can not set any of my buttons. The SpaceExplorer works, but no button configuration. I know ...
