Space pilot pro button configuration

Post by tongy66086 »

I upgraded from a navigator pe to a space pilot pro and am in the process of configurating the buttons.
I want to change one of the default button settings, that I don't use much, to the trimetric view that I use dozens of times a day.
During the set up, I do not find where the trimetric is listed as a choice.
How do I change one of the settings, let's say draft, to the trimetric?
Thanks for your help.

Since I posted the first message, I have now found that when I'm in the drawing environment, I have no button function for "print". I see "page setup" and "print preview", but no print.
This is another command I would like to map to a button.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi tongy66086,

tongy66086 if you know what the key binding is in your program you make custom buttons. You just have to make sure you don't use duplicate key binding or your custom button will not save.

Just for example.
The universal save key is "Ctrl+S".
If you were to make a custom button with "Ctrl+S" then your custom button would not save.

I guess I did forget to mention that I'm using solidworks 2009.
By starting the 3dxware control panel software, I can add the command ctrl + p for my print, and assign it to a button.
I go to the button mapping screen, and my custom function is not available as a choice.
As far as the trimetric, I find that nowhere.

Hi tongy66086,

that's what I thought: you are using SolidWorks. We are aware of missing commands and already worked out a solution for this. The new plugin is still in beta version and is in the testing phase. We plan a release of a new software package soon. Please be patient and visit our download site from time to time to get the newest version. Thank you for your understanding.

Tony,

I've tested driver 3.8.1 and the button mapping is fixed. The categories/command structure in the hammer list matches the structure in the Toolbars Customize dialogue box in SW.
