Have you been editing XML files outside of %appdata%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg?

Please zip up all the files in that directory and email/PM them to me? If you can't email/PM (new user), post a link to them here.

cwbest78,

The XML allows you to set various parameters on the axis processing.
Some you can do in our GUI (scaling - increase the speed).
Some you need to edit XML (non-linearity - acceleration). This is the <ResponseCurve> under <Settings>.

I will probably need to help you with that.

Sign up on our developer support page. We'll send you some code.

Cool!

Which 3DxSoftware version did you install?

I'll email a C# package to you.

There is a non-changing API function to return the current version...on Windows.

Would you mind telling me what you are doing with the device? Is it an industrial application? Yet run on Windows? I agree that you should be able to access the raw data through our new API. Help me make a case internally. ATM, the most data raw API is one of the Microsoft APIs. They are relatively ...

We don't ATM have a platform-independent API to inform about the current update status. I like the idea though. There is an "update available" notice in the GUI. Per platform, we could probably tell you how to find the underlying flag. I'd like to know why you care. Have you actually found...

That's nice. It should work. I assume it reads directly from the system. I do have a C# example if you want it. It also reads directly from the system. It shows how to find and handle multiple devices. I probably also have a C# example of how to use our API with C#. The difference between going dire...

Device recognition is likely to be game-specific. The USB 3D mouse is an HID device. It is described accurately to the system. Many games look for HID devices, but, in reality, are just looking for one type (e.g. a gamepad), and assuming what it finds is one of those. They often assume the first dev...

I sent an email to you at yahoo.com.

You are using the Zoom direction control inside our GUI?
It overwrites any changes you made and sets the Axes to its specification.
There are ways around that, but you need to edit XML files. The GUI is over limited use for this.

It sounds like a problem the Mastercam developers would like to know about. There should not be an issue with getting 3D mouse data in the middle of a script -- it might need to be ignored. I can imagine it has not been encountered before. (edit: It seems that this is wrong. It doesn't appear to be...

If a consistent executable is crashing, you can create a cfg for it and disable all the axes.
