SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Moderator: Moderators
Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Because of the recent upgrade to NX9.0 I've advised all my colleagues to update the drivers of their 3D mouse.
We all run the latest versions of the driver.
The ugii_env.dat on the server does not contain an environmental variable for 3DConnexion.
However a local file on the system has the following reference:
UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY=${UGII_BASE_DIR}\UGALLICANCE\vendor\startup\3DxNX.dll
The library is not mentioned anywhere.
what string value should I put the environment variable UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY to?

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
I´ve tried to fill in the environmental variabe manually and remove all the references in the ugii_env.dat so that it could not be overwritten at startup.
putting in the string C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0\UGALLIANCE\vendor\startup\3DxNX.dll does not work.
I've tried
- current control set
- controlset001
- controlset002
I've even tried to tie it to my userprofile but that did not work.
I assume this is not the cause of the problem.

Hi berdir,
you will find the most helpful information in your NX log file. You will probably find a line that explains which ugii_env.dat file is used. I recommend to copy the line into this file then.
You should as well find a line that tells you to which folder the variable UGII_BASE_DIR is set. Check if you find the files for the plugin 3DxNX there.
If you cannot solve the issue let me know. I will provide you with an email address to which you can then send the NX log file and I will try to find the needed information.

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Spacemouse Pro / NX9
I have the same issue described. Customize Buttons is not greyed out in NX but the 1 2 3 4 functions don't work (except for calculator) and the quick view hot-keys on the right of the mouse don't work.
A snippet from my log file is:
UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0\UGALLIANCE\vendor\startup\3dxnx.dll
UGII_BASE_DIR C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0
NX_VERSION=9.0.2.5
=====================
Thanks,
Mark

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Also, to be more specific. The view orientation button (flip/top/front/right and fit) do not function with the exception to lock rotation. Also the 1/2/3/4 hot-keys do not function. It seems to me that there is some interface issue between the Spacemouse driver and NX, any fix or reinitialize that can be recommend? I have done a clean uninstall/reboot/re-install of 3DxWare64_v10-1-2_r1798.exe with no help to the noted issues.

Update:
NX was started as administrator and the driver not. The user had admin rights, but the start of both (application and driver) has to be made with 'exactly' the same privileges.

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Hi together
We are facing a similar Problem in NX9.0.3.4 on Windows 7. The variable UGII_3DCONNEXION_LIBRARY=${UGII_BASE_DIR}\UGALLIANCE\vendor\startup\3dxnx.dll is correctly set in our customized ugii_env.dat. The problem we are facing is that the programed buttons get lost every other day or the day after.
Has there been any solution to this problem?
Thanks for a replay

Hi Daniel,
are you using our latest driver - 3Dxware 10.2.2? The settings are stored in the user's %APPDATA%\3Dconnexion folder. Check if this gets removed for any reason. If you remove it you will lose all settings you have made.

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
I am having this same problem. NX9 is working fine. In 7.5 the button mapping is still greyed out. This is what I set in the ugii_env.dat

Hello Agville,
which driver do you have installed? Our latest driver is 3DxWare 10.2.3. You can download it here.
We need the log files from an NX 9 session (addin loaded) and one from a NX 7.5 session where you have problems with the addin. I will send you a PM with an email address to which you can send the files.

Re: SpaceExplorer and Siemens NX 8.5: buttons not working
Hi,
I am using Siemens NX11 and Teamcenter. The button assignments work fine in native NX, however they do not function in Teamcenter. I can hold down the buttons and see that they are assigned, but they don't function. I use the 3Dconnexion plugin to NX and Teamcenter to bring up the interface to make the assignments. I am using the SpaceMouse Pro Wireless and have the 3DxWare 10.6.0 installed. Automatic updates are on and software is up to date.

Hi mrtelip,
I saw that you contacted our Technical Support Team. The issue seem to be solved now. (Reason was that Teamcenter and the driver were running with different privileges. See here.)
