Bug ProE Wildfire3 ?
Hi,
we are testing the SpaceNavigator with ProE Wildfire3, latest driver, Windows XP SP2.
After some time of use (one or two weeks) ProE starts working strangely:
the highlighting doesn't work properly, you can't use the sketcher anymore... (see also thread in Window2000 beta section)
Anyone with the same problem?

Hi raile111
Please explain what do you mean with
Could you make some screen-shots which could illustrate the situation?

Hi,
screenshots won't help, so have to explain
the highlighting doesn't work:
if you hover with the cursor over the elements of the model or sketch you normally get a highlighting of this element, so you can select an edge or a line.
If this doesn't work anymore it gets impossible to work with the system.
After uninstalling the 3Dconnexion driver ProE reacts normally again.

Hi there raile. My company uses WF3.0 and was wondering what features you have seen so far with spacenavigator and ProE. Id love to get it in house for my engineers to take a look at. But on the specs page it only refers to Space Pilotraile111 wrote:Hi Jim,
thanks a lot for your advice. After unplugging and plugging in the device, it works just fine.

Any words of wisdom?
For me, not an unplugging issue.
I am noticing this issue also while trying Navigator in Wildfire 2.0. I have noticed that I have to physically remove my hand from the stick in order for the highlighting to work properly. It's almost as if the deadband used for view movement isn't being passed on in the same way, so ProE thinks you are spinning, even when you are not.
Hi lexj,
Normally the deadband built-in to the device and software is sufficient.
Try hitting the calibrate button in the GUI after the device has had a chance to settle down (been used for a while, no large temperature changes, hasn't just come out of someone's travel bag, etc.).
There is also a function you can assign to a device button (Rezero Device) that does the same thing.

If you wish to do a little extra work, you can adjust the threshold (deadband) used by the driver.

This fix affects deadband across the board, so I am giving up some responsiveness on view control, but I was able to find a value where I felt I wasn't giving up too much, but could at least still have my hand on the stick while selecting. I used 75. I would be interested to know where the default was.
