Update Maya Plugin?
Hi:
I'm using SpacePilot w/Maya. I updated to the 3.6.11 drivers, but in Maya the version # displayed in the Control Panel is version 3.5.1.
Do I need to update the plugin manually?
Thanks.

Hi,
The Plug-in should be updated automatically if you update 3DxSoftware. Maybe Maya was running while you installed 3DxSoftware_v3.6.11?
If it doesn't help to reboot and then reinstall the software you might want to try a complete reinstall es mentioned in this article.

Theres instruction in the Maya plugin help file.
* Manual Installation
Copy the Melscripts to the "scripts\startup" sub-directory of Maya,
and the bitmap files to the Maya "icons" directory.
Copy 3DxMaya.mll to "bin\plug-ins"
Copy the 3DxHelp directory to "docs\ext"
All the files are in:
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxMaya2009
When you installed the driver all the plugins get installed.

Now its not working at all
Thanks for the reply.
I followed the uninstall instructions, including removing the registry entries.
Then I rebooted, reinstalled the drivers, and then rebooted again.
Is there an app so I can test to see if it's working?
In Maya, it's not working at all.
At startup, I get this:

All the files appear to be correct.

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2008\icons has the 5 3Dx files.
I have also disabled my custom userSetup.mel, which has caused a conflict w/SpacePilot in the past (the conflict was resolved by including "MagellanStartup;" at the end of script).
Any more ideas?
