Dear tattoo,

You may need to re-zero your device.

Start
All Programs
3Dconnexion
3Dconnexion Control Panel
Device Configuration Tab
Calibrate Button

Sincerely,
Bryan

I'm having the same trouble where the auto rotation center does not work in Solidworks 2013 SP4.0. Any hints on how to get it working?

It is possibly caused by data corruption. You can use "Restore all Defaults" in your SolidWorks profile to return to default settings. [3Dconnexion Control Panel – Options- Restore all Defaults] There may be multiple SolidWorks profiles. You can use Options- Delete Saved Configurations to remove the SolidWorks profiles.

For me remain the same problem. On solidworks 2013 sp3 the mouse pan and zoom only. Rotation doesn't work.
On other cad the mouse work well.
I do calibration and reset settings.

Some help?
