3Dconnexion Forum

Believe it or not, I have a rep from INCAT who is here today to answer questions about Catia and he says has never heard of this problem before. He's gonna look into it.

Fred, should the spaceball be able to work without the 3Dx driver and use the native Catia driver?

Hey Sebt,
I shut off my firewall all together and when I start Catia for the first time and open up a part it zooms into the part and then does a slight jump. Is this what you are experiencing? I get the jump everytime without touching the spaceball.

It didn't work me either. Works fine in FEMAP though. I allowed Cnext and 3dxsrv through the exceptions tab (even though windows firewall is turned off) and there was no change in the availability of the spaceball in Catia.

I have this problem on R16 and so does one other person that I know of. Once R16 was installed the spaceball stopped working on all versions of Catia. It works fine on every other application I can think of. I reinstalled the latest software as of today but no go.
