Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Great idea, but I had already tried that. I have drivers from way back (WinXP). Nothing worked. I'm betting it's the same defect in driver programming or hard-coded, low-level calls to the machine that I encountered when struggling to get the drivers to work in Inventor 2010 back in the day. I was s...

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Incidentally, when it tried switching devices on the VM (shut one off and turn another one on), the computer dropped out and rebooted.
That tells me there's a serious problem with the way this app communicates w/the hardware.

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

luping, I already have an Ubuntu hard disk, but none of my CAD software works on it. Thanks for the referral to Virtual_Here. I just tried it and it failed.

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Yes, the device is being seen by the VM, but it isn't working correctly. The app is irrelevant b/c the device doesn't work in the native 3dConnexion app (Training, Practice, Puzzle, etc. modules). So there's some problem with how the driver functions inside the VM, or maybe the device's interface ha...

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Also I found this on another forum: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2252527-how-do-i-relay-a-local-usb-device-to-a-vm-vmware I had to install a MS USB 3.0 driver in the VM to get the device to show up in the list. It's name is "Microchip lash", whatever that means. Apparently I DO h...

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

luping, I didn't know only 2 input devices were allowed on a VM. Doesn't make any sense, since many of us use 3 or more input devices. This is my first go-around with a VM. I just found this https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/USB-Controller-Maximum-Limit-Reached/td-p/1697932 w...

luping, I didn't know only 2 input devices were allowed on a VM. Doesn't make any sense, since many of us use 3 or more input devices. This is my first go-around with a VM. I'm running legacy CAD software (from back in the early 2000's). I really don't care about MicroSnot, ISV's and all those Anti-...

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Thanx Nuno, Let me clarify: 1. Are you saying that I need to install the 3dX driver on the host system or on the VM system? I'm running the VMware in Win10-64 and already have the correct driver installed on it. 2. Before coming into this forum I read about 'redirecting the USB device to the client ...

Re: spacemouse on vmware in win 7 pro

Hey **********, I didn't ask you when end of support is.
I asked how to get it to work in VMWARE.
If you can't offer help, then **********.
