Acad2007 zoom in limited in 2d wireframe
I am using Acad 2007 and 3DXware v5.9.2 and 3dxauctocad.arx v4.1.1 and a SpaceNavigator SE
In 2D wireframe mode, there is a limit to how far you can zoom in with the SpaceNavigator. Exceeding this limit causes the view to jump to the zoom limit when the navigator is released. In drawing units the limit varies from drawing to drawing, but is always there. I find no Autocad variable to express the amount of zoom or to change the behavior - the limits and regen command has no effect. Mouse zooming does not suffer from this problem.
This problem does not happen in 3D wireframe mode. However this mode is problematic because the display is erratic, with some objects dissappearing after pans and zoom and snap points being unreliable. This seems to be an Autocad problem.
Kudos to the people who are bringing this device's benefits to more and more application!

newer 3DX software does not resolve ACAD quirk
I updated the 3DxWare to 6.3.3, however the Autocad ARX is unchanged at 4.1.1.
The problem in 2D wireframe mode persists.

This is the same issue that was brought up in this thread:
viewtopic.php?t=919
Apparently a fix will be included in the next version of the software. This is a very annoying bug that I experience myself, so I'm looking forward to a fix.

They said 6-8 weeks, and that was a couple weeks ago.

It's unfortunate, I was hoping to purchase several more units (possibly including an Explorer/Pilot or two) for the rest of the people in my department, but the bugs are too much of a distraction.

Same here, dead zone?
I've got the same issue as described above (zooming in too far results in the zoom being reset to some value).
What's the latest on this? It seems like a fairly critical error. For something that is as expensive as this SMP, I would hope to find that it functions as advertised.
Also, will this new release include some way to modify the dead zone as in previous releases, or is this functionality gone forever? I find that the thing will pan all by itself when left alone.

It is still possible to adjust the threshold (deadzone) but there is no GUI for it. See this post
