Spacenavigator - Solidworks2019

Post by Vos »

Spacenavigator do not recognize different work areas in Solidworks2019 (it does in 2018) - Part/Assembly/Drawing. It can be customize only once for all 3 spaces. Any workaround?

Hello Vos,

you need our latest driver for the newest version os SolidWorks. Additionally make sure the driver installation is done either after you installed SolidWorks or you did a repair installation after you installed SWX.

I just did on two different computers - Win 7/64. Still no Part/Assembly/Drawing recognition on both.

Hello Vos,

antoher issue might be that you start the application (SolidWorks) and the driver with different users. The driver is started automatically when you login (with the privileges of your user) and when you then start SolidWorks with an elevated user (Administrator) then the driver cannot communicate with the addin in SolidWorks. See here.
