I am using Catia R16 Sp4 with a Windows XP 64 bit and am having problems with assigning customized button profiles to the Space Pilot. The only options I have in the software is Any Aplication, Catia V5 PreR15 1 and Catia V5 PreR15 2. If I create custom configs in Catia it will create a new config in the 3dxware, but it doesnt seem to show up or be recognized.
How can I get the Catia config to show up in the 3dxware?
We need to see if the default configuration for R15 and above is on your system. Below, I'm assuming you have the driver in English and installed in C:\Program Files\.
Check if the file "CatiaR15+.scg" can be found under the folder:
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxWare\en_us\profiles\default
If not, uninstall 3DxSoftware and, when installing it again, select a "Custom" installation and check the CATIA/DELMIA/ENOVIA panel: verify which check boxes are ticked when the panel is first shown.
During install I chose the Normal installation (not custom). I have one configuration file in the location you stated earlier. It is user00.scg. I will uninstall the software and re-install using custom to see if this will work. I will repost the results.
Yes this is the only configuration file in that location.
During re-install it does not have any check box option for Catia using the latest driver on your website. It has 3dxware, picture, max, acrobat, sketch,, ect..., but no Catia. Is there some other option for this or driver?
I contined with the install and saw the check boxes you were referring to. I selected R15 or later and completed the install. I started back up and now in the configuration directory I have a lot of configurations, but still no Catia. Only CatiaPreR15 1 & 2.

It seems strange that %APPDATA% is pointing to a "Program Files" folder. What can you see under:
"C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Application Data\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles"?

The panel with "3DxWare and the others" options in a tree control is the "Select Features" panel. Just press on the "Next" button on that panel and the "CATIA/DELMIA/ENOVIA" panel should come up. If it does not, let us know.
I copied the configuration files you sent to me and it seems to be working now. It is recogninzing the catia button configurations I I would expect it should. I will test it out and let you know the results. Our company has about 10 of these so I will pass this onto them.
