Detailed function list for Pro Engineer plug-in

Is there any documentation listing all the functions available in the Pro Engineer plug-in? There look to be several hundred functions, and they all have very short names with no descriptions. Sometimes I see 4 or 5 functions listed next to each other, all with the same name. It's also difficult to ...

I just recently received the spacepilot, and it's had this behavior since the beginning. I'll try contacting support. Thanks.

SpacePilot L R F T buttons loose or unresponsive

My L, R, T, and F buttons are not very responsive. I have to press them relatively hard to get them to work. Specifically, pushing any of them up till the point of tactile feedback (the click) does nothing. I must push them at least twice as hard to get the button to actuate. This leads to me pushin...

I'm glad Autohotkey was useful. It's saved me a lot of trouble on many occassions. Now and then I'll run into a repetitive action in ProE that requires the same exact on 50 dwg/prt files. With Autohotkey it's just a matter of recording the action and mapping it to a keyboard shortcut.

Looks like I can fix the issue by tweaking a registry entry for deadband. I like it when there's a simple solution.

Rbird, I agree with you that the threshold & precision settings should be in the GUI. However, in the mean time, maybe you could just distribute a .reg file that accomplishes the same changes without requiring access to regedit. Of course this is assuming your users even have permission to execu...

I think that may have solved my "problem". Turns out my hand on the knob was pushing it juuuuust enough to make the 3Dx driver react. Even though I couldn't see anything moving, as soon as I moved my hand away I could click on anything. It's going to take a little doing for me to remember ...

This shouldn't be necessary, but try plugging it into a different usb port.

I have Pro Engineer Wildfire 3.0 M060. Whenever the driver is active I can manipulate the model in the graphics a...

Tonny, Assuming you're using windows, look into using AutoHotkey. It is a versatile free keyboard mapping and macro utility. Specifically it's able to map any keyboard button (or button combination) to a mouse click. This would allow you to achieve what your looking for by using the following proced...

I have version 3.1.8 of the software installed with only 3DxWare and the 3DxProEngineer plugin along with Wildfire 3.0 M060. Whenever the driver is active I can manipulate the model in ...
