I just got my "paper weight". And only now I found out that you don't support Cinema 4D. ARRGGHHH!! !! You have been in business this long and this is what your customers are experiencing? Please do something. Also, you might want to consider using the search function or post a new thread...

I just got my "paper weight". And only now I found out that you don't support Cinema 4D. ARRGGHHH!! !! You have been in business this long and this is what your customers are experiencing? Please do something. Yes it does... If you look under the list of supported software, "Maxon Ci...

The first commercial product was the Spaceball 1003. 1988. $3500 comes to mind, but my memory may be fading. It quickly fell to less than $2000, where it stood into the early 90's then continued to fall with various models. Ahh, I totally forgot about those... They were white and used a serial conn...

The Solidworks plugin overwrites the 3DControl panel button mapping editor. Use the toolbar button configuration in Solidworks to map the buttons. If you have created macros in the 3dcontrol panel open up the 3Dxware function, locate the macro and map it to your button choice. How do I map the moti...

This type of 3d device has been used in CAD for decades, long before any of your games existed. The games offer new potential for sales, but the original hardware existed for CAD long ago. They use to cost thousands, not hundreds. It's my understanding that the original device was designed to contr...

3. Opened "3D Connexion Control Panel" by clicking button in system tray. 4. Verified that the current configuration is "Solidworks - Administrator". I think this where the problem may be: double clicking on the systray icon when SolidWorks has the foreground should open the but...

Hi pwscottiv, When you click the systray icon, does the 3Dconnexion Control Panel come up (check the window title to make sure)? If it does, you should select the "SolidWorks" configuration from the pull-down menu. That should go some way to fixing some of these issues. OK, I guess I'm no...

Hi pwscottiv, It also fails to save the config in ANY program, not just Solidworks... I think you referring to 3Dxware (driver) configurations. Our add-in for SolidWorks has its own button mapping panel. How do you go about programming your devices buttons? It can make a big difference to us if you...

Dear Sirs, You folks are BRILLIANT!!! I have recently purchased a SpaceNavigator and it is an amazing human to computer interface! The multiple axies of rotation, the directional control...all fantastic! Also... You folks are IDIOTS!!! You don't have it configured to work as a game controller? How ...

Hi, The button mapping feature is dependent on the loaded document type. See my comment of Feb 21 above . In other words, if you map your changes in "Assembly" and then restart the application and load a "Part" document, the mappings will be different. The add-in will switch to ...

Hello, I am using solidworks 2006 and windows xp professional, and my space traveler is not saving the button configuration. Thanks! I've had the same problem for quite a while now with my Spaceball 5000. I'll make a button configuration change and then the next time I load SolidWorks, or any progr...
