Hello H8Cr1me - In 3DsMax the rotation center options are now located on the 3Dx PopUp menu.The pop-up is mapped to the Panel button on the SpacePilot.

Hello antonynealrobinson - The 3Dconnexion PlugIn for ProENGINEER Wildfire3 has its own button mapping editor. Buttons mapped here will be saved to your profile. Internal button mapping editors are designed to have priority over the 3Dconnexion Control Panel button mapping so will overwrite mappings...

Hello mpranger - How are you determining that the driver does not load when the blue LEDs are on ? If the device is not recognized : The 3DxWare icon will not show up in the system tray. The blue LEDs do not turn on. The driver does not start. The 3DMouse Home window opens but the link to 3Dconnexio...

Hi diverblue - After the button mapping is saved in the Catia editor you will need to select that configuration from the 3Dconnexion Control Panel. The driver does not get notification of which Catia mode you are using (part, design, sketch, ...) thus it cannot adapt the button mapping to the correc...

Hello DCrosby - If your 3D mouse is installed and working outside of Maya [in the Jet Demo for instance] , you can use these steps for a manual install of the Maya plugin: 1.Locate the 3dx plugin file 3DxMaya.mll for Maya 2009 [default path is C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3Dx...

Hello Gareee - You can pick one of the assigned shortcuts that you are less likely to use such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift+X. It is OK if its not a convenient shortcut since it is not one you will need to remember. If Photoshop says the key combination is already in use,it will ask if you want to re-assign it...

Hello Jason - Choppiness in the animation is not something I'm seeing other reports of. Have you checked that both the 3Dconnexion software and the video driver are the most recent versions? The 3DsMax plug-in was updated in the current 3DxSoftware Rel.3.11.3. Do you see the same behavior if you tur...

Doc Maverick - What you've been seeing with the SpaceExplorer is not normal behavior. The device has a 3 year warranty. Unless recent steps have resolved the problem, if you purchased the SpaceExplorer less than 3 years ago, you can contact our Technical Support for warranty replacement. You've cove...

Hello Cal - Actually its not a question of functions missing but of which software the functions come from. In either case you can map your SpaceExplorer buttons from the 3DConnexion Control Panel. One difference you will see when the 3Dconnexion software controls navigation is the interface inside ...

Hello coccosoids - With Rhino the support for 3D devices is built into the application. Photoshop CS5 requires a 3Dconnexion plugin - 3DxPhotoshop - to work with our devices. If 3DxPhotoshop is installed, you will see it listed in Photoshop's File-Automate menu. If CS5 was installed after the 3Dconn...

Hello DocMaverick - To stop and re-start the driver we use the Start| Stop Driver shortcuts [Start,Programs,3Dconnexion, Driver,Start Driver ] Is there an entry for 'Start 3dxWare' in the Startup folder on your Start menu ? The shortcut is placed there during the installation when the box for 'Start...

Hello DocMaverick -

Have you been able to check the SpaceExplorer on another PC ? This is not a common issue - that would help determine whether this is hardware or software based.

To clarify the question of supported applications a bit, when applications like Calypso add support for 3D devices into their application, they do not need to contact or work with 3Dconnexion to do this. They only need to download and implement our Software Development Kit. When a software developer...

Hello DocMaverick - It is possible for a corrupted registry key to cause this type of behavior. The Clean Install steps remove all of the 3Dconnexion registry keys and profiles. That should return your Space Explorer to its original behavior and allow it to be correctly recognized. _________________...
