Spacemouse not recognized in FlothermXT 3.1 (Solidworks 2017, SP2)

Post by Colin »

I am having no luck getting my Spacemouse to do anything in Solidworks (as part of FlowthermXT) and I cant find anything that has helped resolve this problem.

One other individual here has been able to get it working by (he says) loading this dll each time he runs FlothermXT 3.1 (which I believe is spawning an instance of Solidworks 2017 SP2):
'C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxSolidWorks64\TDxSW64.dll'

When I load this dll I do see it appear in Tools--> Add-Ins, and its apparently active according to the Add-Ins config window, but the Spacemouse still doesn't do anything.

The Spacemouse is working fine in other applications.

Hello Colin,

do you have functionality in SolidWorks when you start it without Flotherm? Just to make sure this is working.

Which version of our driver do you have installed?
