SpacePilot confusion between Inventor & Fusion 360

Post by kbmyers »

Hello - I'm having trouble with my SpaceMouse Pro getting confused as to what application I'm running. I primarily use Fusion 360, but I also have Inventor installed. While using Fusion, the SpaceMouse will often stop responding. If I hit the Menu button, I see that the SpaceMouse thinks I'm running Inventor (which is not running).

Without changing anything, if I press ESC and then the Menu button again here's what happens:

The SpaceMouse will then run happily in Fusion for a few minutes before it stops responding again and thinks Inventor is running. This happens every couple of minutes so it is very frustrating.

Any suggestions?

The same appears to me too with the latest SpacePilot drivers.

Hi smooker,

which version of 3DxWare do you have installed?
