Hello mcc, you're correct, RegisterConnexionClient() returns a unique ID/handle for the connection to 3DxWareMac. It's also correct to use this handle to "filter" for the incoming events, to lower the processing needs for incoming events. Unfortunately you didn't provide any code, so I can only gues...

Hello mcc, I understand, that you're interested in a uniform way of development, but when you support different platforms and OSes you generally/usually need to deal with their different APIs. Best practice in terms of support for multiple platforms is to abstracting at a certain (useful) level and ...

Hi The BaronHimself, for the Wireless devices (SpaceMouse Wireless and SpaceMouse Pro Wireless) behaviour of the blue LED is a bit different when compared to our wired devices: 1. When connected via USB cable, the blue LED can be switched on/off via the checkbox "Enable LEDs" from the "Tool" tab in ...

Hello hjbflyer, if by "calibrating the sensitivty of the device" you want to generate a custom speed or kind of "equalise" the speed to a certain level within your application (or as your attachment suggests: for all Java applications), the answer unfortunately is: Yes, you're wrong. :wink: The spee...

Hello hjbflyer, thank you for your question! I've had a look into this and we've found a bug in the driver! It seems that until now no one was interested in using this API call/functionality. We're fixing the issue and it'll be available in the next release, but at the moment I cannot give you a dat...

Hi hjbflyer, you're almost correct: It's not SetConnexionClientMask() - just call SetConnexionClientButtonMask(clientID, kConnexionMaskAllButtons); This will do the job! The button numbers can be calculated from the mask buttons, there is no "1" (label on the device) -> "whatever value received" tab...

Hi nbays1975, we've currently not explained kConnexionCmdAppSpecific in our SDK as it's still a bit circumstantial at the moment to make use of "Application Commands". The changes that are necessary (in the development process on your side) may mess up your driver's installation if not done correctl...

Hello Heine,

thats great to hear, that your issue is solved.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask!

Regards,

Christian

Hello Heine, please, try to change the mask parameter of RegisterConnexionClient() to kConnexionMaskAxis only. This should do the job. Note: Do not call SetConnexionClientButtonMask() after that. If you call RegisterConnexionClient() with a button mask or call SetConnexionClientButtonMask() it tells...

Hi andrewjarvis, 3DxMayaResources is actually not a plugin for Maya. It is a resource bundle supporting 3DxMaya. There is no need to load 3DxMayaResources via the Plugin Window, nor will it work (as you experienced). 3DxMaya on the other hand can be loaded and actually should be automatically loaded...

Hi Keith, if you want to just have the KEXT to be installed. you need to first install the complete 3DxWareMac and remove all unwanted files manually afterwards. Please note, that our latest driver will work on OS X 10.9 Mavericks, but you will get a warning dialog after the kext has been loaded, th...

Hi kult, as Therasha already wrote, the fn key is handled in firmware and never exposed to the OS in any way so there is no way to emulate it. To my knowledge there is no support for the fn key in any API that I know of (unless Apple recently changed the implementation). Looking at possible workarou...

Hello everybody, I just wanted to give a little update on this issue, not leaving you in a information void. We may have found the bug; at least a strong suspicion. If anyone here likes to verify: (For those of you that already added SketchUp according to my hint given earlier in this thread, please...

Hi txparticleman, nice to hear! Although I didn't expect the workaround not to survive a reboot. Here in our Lab its stable, meaning I could reboot as often as I like (OS X 10.8.2) and SketchUp is still works. We'll keep on working on this issue anyway and I'll keep you updated when there's a fix av...

Hi txparticleman, thank you for your additional info on this / your issues. Regarding GoogleEarth 6.2 it may be necessary to enable the 3D Mouse. In Google Earth open the "Preferences" menu, "Navigation" tab and check "Enable controller" (maybe you'll need to restart GE after this). If this should n...
