SpaceMouse with FlothermXT (SolidWorks 2017)

Post by Borisw37 »

I have SolidWorks 2016 installed and SpaceMouse Enterprise works great with it.
I've installed FlothermXT V3.2, a thermal simulation tool which is basically Solidworks 2017 with some added plugins/features, repackaged and sold by Mentor Graphics.
The SpaceMouse doesn't work in Flotherm at all :(
There is no "3Dcontrol" add-in available under Tools->addins
I've tried re-installed 3Dconnexion driver, but no luck.

Is there a way to manually install the addin for Flotherm?
Any other options?

Hello Borisw37,

unfortunately Flotherm does not have support for the 3D mouse. We have contacted them and asked for collaboration, but they were not interested. I recommend that you contact Mentor, a Siemens Business and ask for support for the 3Dconnexion devices so that they see the need of colaborating with us.
