Space Mouse Enterprise now working properly with CATIA

Post by Dugga555 »

Hello,

In our company we are using CATIA Version 5-6 Release 2013, SP 5 Build number 23, Hot Fix 92
and I got this Space Mouse, but problem is, that only thing which is working is joypad + buttons on the left side - esc, space...
Numpad buttons and buttons on the right side are not working.
I have installed the most recent driver for the mouse, but CATIA still doesn't detect it as as Space Mouse Enterprise but as a Space Pilot PRO / this is the only device I can see , that's why I am not able to configure the buttons. - I tried to restore all the settings in CATIA, but with no luck.
Driver for mouse is running.

Any ideas how to set it up?

Thanks

Hello Dugga555,

please DO NOT USE the "Button Customization" panel from Catia. Instead open the 3Dconnexion properties and you will see the long list of Catia commands in the button mapping window.

Hello,

thanks for the reply...problem solved - only thing I need is to manually record all the macros using 3D mouse software.

You can lock this post.

Thanks

Hello,

I am facing to the same problem since my old Spacepilot was raplaced by the Spacemouse Enterprise due incompatibility with windows 10. :(
I am working with Catia V5 R28, unfortunately I can not customize the buttons inside Catia, it is recognized as a Spacepilot Pro.
I have tried to customize them in 3Dconnexion settings as explained below, however there is only two options available under the Catia button. See the screenshots.

Can someone please explain me why can not work the customization in the good old ways? Any ideas how to get all the catia commands selectable for the SME?

As I see the installed driver is not the latest, could that be the problem? I'll ask the IT to update it anyway.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
i have also installed the latest driver for the SpaceMouse Pro, but CATIA recognizes it as Space Pilot PRO it is the only device I can see and I cannot configure the buttons. I adjusted all the settings in CATIA, but without success.

Is there already a solution for this problem?

Many Thanks
