Upgrade from Space Navigator to Space Pilot

Post by torniaccio »

Hi Wolf, Arp and Nuno and hi everybody,

I'm happy to ask u what i've got to do for upgrade from Sn to Sp.
Have I to uninstall all the SN software?
There's any tips or something to do special?

Waiting your help, Ciao.

Couldn't be any easier: simply disconnect your SpaceNavigator, connect the SpacePilot and start the driver. You can then configure your SpacePilot to your heart's content.
There is no need to reinstall software.

In terms of functionality, it is the same. Only the license terms are different.

Please refer to this topic.

Hi Nuno,
I've some trouble with catia.
The button config doesn't change from an enviroment to another.
For ex. when i go in the sketcher envir. button config is the same of model env.. and if i try to change it by the config button, nothing happens.

P.s. I've update the softw. by downloaded driver for Sp. Pi.

Ciao, Roberto.

This is how CATIA works. The button configurations do not change automatically when a new workbench is loaded. The user needs to take action to change to a different config.

Hi Nuno,
So how can i change it?
The button config doesn't change from a config to another.
Have i to change it by catia button panel????
And more, how can i assign the F3 function permanently?
Everytime i assign it by 3dx control panel - custom function, catia discard it.

Ciao Roberto.

Start CATIA and check which "configuration" is selected in 3DxWare (open the driver "control panel): it should be "CATIA" (and not "CATIA PreR15 1" or "CATIA PreR15 2").

Also, you may want to try resetting the "button configuration" settings in CATIA. If the "config button" still does not change the config in CATIA, exit the application and delete (or rename) the "VRButtonCustomize.CATSettings" file.

The configuration IN USE is "catia-user" but there's also Catia prer15 1 and 2. Have i to "disable" them?

Now i can cycle the button configuration by entering in "Catia button config" then cycle it by pressing my Sp "config button" but I will try with your tip.

It should be in the same folder as all the other CATSettings files for CATIA.
Usually, they're stored in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Dassault Systemes\Catsettings

Pressing the "Config" button should definitely cycle through all your CATIA configurations.
It is possible to create any number of them.

To disable the other 2 options
Open the 3dcontrol panel.
in the dropdown field click
Catia pre 15 1
then right click and choose disable.
You can do the same for the Catia pre 15 2.

Hi Fred & Nuno,
I've disable all the other options except "catia - user".
I've found the "VRbutton..." an i've deleted it.

Nothing is changed.

When i push the "Config" button, the LCD, in the upper side, tells me "Next Catia config" but, also if there is another button config ready, it doesn't change.

P.s. In ProE it works very good!

Ciao, Roberto.
