The Readme.txt files of the plugins I want to use don't seem to contain instructions. This is the 3.3.6 version of 3dware. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64.

KNOWN ISSUES:
----------
Bugzilla [4341] There is 2-3 (and longer) second delay when trying to pan/zoom in a 2d wireframe view.
This is caused when the view switches from a 2D view to a 3D AcGsView. The delay is dependent on the
size of the scene being shown and is longest the first time the 2D to 3D switch is made. Not
switching to a 3D view would eliminate the delay but then the pan and zoom are no longer usable.
The delay is a limitation of the AutoCAD API and can be reproduced with the mouse by activating the
3DOrbit command.
1. CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS
---------------------------------
Version 4.1.1
In fact the installation is done by an installer which eliminate the need for a manual installation. The text referring to the installation wasn't removed yet completely.
The installer starts automatically at the moment you start 3DxSoftware and you will have 2 ways to install: one of them is the "Complete" installation which will install all the available components in the delivered 3DxSoftware. The other way is to use the "Custom" (selecting the "Custom" radio-button) installation: this way you can choose the components you want to install.
Something isn't installing right then. For AutoCAD 2008 the spaceNavigator wasn't working after 3dxware was installed until I ran the script/program within AutoCAD. Same thing for CS3, except I can't get the spaceNavigator to work at all.
Please run the "Update Wizard" as that might "activate" your 3D mouse.
Please install 3DxSoftware after installing your applications because 3DxSoftware has to recognise the already installed applications. You have to install 3DxSoftware always as an administrator (same thing for the "Update Wizard").
