So I changed the variable today with high hopes, especially after what you said ngomes (thx - makes a lot of sense), and did a log out and log in again. But still, no luck despite several attempts... :( And then... cos you never know... did a restart.... fired up catia not expecting any difference.....

Yes I do! Value is set 1.

I don't have privilieges to do this at the mo, I'll let you know the result when I get hold of our IT guy.

Cheers

Hey Fred, Thanks for that, will do in cpl of days. I might be able to test it with Catia R17 tomorrow. If so i'll send you both logs so you can compare them. I just did a few tests with Catia R16 and compared it to one of the demos (3D cube). In the meantime, here's a little preview, on starting up ...

Nope. Nothing of any use. Besides, according to our CAD IT guy, any patches/updates are all lobbed into a service pack, and i have the latest one installed (8) :( . Might have a chance to test the space navigator on a R17 workstation next week. I'll let you know how it goes. Could you maybe fwd this...

Hey Jolsowka, Well thats what I thought of the first time. It's very similar. I opened a new part in part design and moved the Spacenavigator. The Axis system moved 1mm and then nothing even after several relaunches of catia. Then I stopped the windows firewall SERVICE (not the control panel), opene...

confirmed. It did work for a split second. It just did it again after I went in Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Services and stopped the service called Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing and started up catia again. Then after that nothing, no response, even if i restart catia. Same ...

Hi all, Nope, no change. The firewall was deactivated even for the local area connection. Allowing CNEXT.exe and 3dxsrv.exe had no effect. It might be me, but be before trying anything with the firewall, I tried the SN simply as an admin user. After launching Catia and opening a new part in part des...

found it. In command prompt type: netsh firewall show state verbose=enable reslts are: Firewall status: operational mode is disabled, exception mode=enabled .... but according to this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/support/wftshoot.mspx when it's off, it's off. However if you ...

No luck, same as before. I can get the buttons to interact with the 3dx functions like rotation on/off, translation etc, but in the 3dx toolbar in CATIA nothing happens, whereas if I activate these options with the mouse, they are reciprocated in both the 3dx GIU and in the 3dx toolbar in catia (tra...

I have a Spacenavigator connected directly to a usb port.

Thanks for the swift reply Well there is some good news. Using the 3dx toolbar in CATIA, clicking pan only/rotate only, dominant mode, increase speed, decrease speed activates/deactivates those respective options in the 3dx driver gui, and hence the Driver GUI displays CATIA - ''my username'', so th...

I tried running the update wizard to fix any missing links etc. but sorry, no luck. Catia was already installed long before the 3dx software. It works fine in the demos, so it seems to be strictly a CATIA related issue :( . If it's any help, I'm running Catia R16 service pack 8, and the 3dx soft in ...

many thx

Hi, I have the same problem in R16 (the Spacenavigator works fine in the demos and vericut 6). The 3dx icon says CATIA R15+.scg so it's got the right version installed and, although windows firewall is installed it has been disabled by the administrator, so there shoudn't be any need to allow CNEXT ...
