3Dconnexion Forum

I understand - exactly - legalistic caution prevails on the official website, which therefore gives us no clue to this lifesaving possibility - unless we think to ask on the official forum. There, UtaSH, who seems to be a 3dConnexion representative, kindly and helpfully provides excellent informatio...

No, the point is, on the Legacy drivers page, if I input Spacepilot (original type) and W10-64, it says "Sorry there is no driver available for your selection!" whereas you've shown, in this forum, that 10.4.10 does work (smoother and sweeter than my SpacePilot has ever been), contrary to ...

After great assistance from Tech Support, first to get driver 3.16.3 to uninstall, I can say that my old Spacepilot immediately works perfectly, no messing required, with 10.4.10 in W10. This is after the website says 'not supported in W10', but try an old driver (not specified). I tried 3.16.3, whi...

Thnks - I saw same in https://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewt ... 25&t=35491, downloaded, but it required me to uninstall the present drver, which it has refused to do - dialog pic attached. Any idea why?

Thinking to buy a secondhandf SpaceNavigator.
Any idea what difference is between serial no 3DX-700028 or 29, and 3DX-600028 or 29? US/UK ones seem to be 7000*, German ones 6000*.

Any ideas how to use my first-type SpacePilot (not Pro) with W10? For Autocad. It's in vgc but not officially supported by current drivers, only by drivers up to W7 or W8.

Being v inexpert 'under the hood' I don't know what I'm doing here on developer's forum, but would appreciate comment: Was disappointed that my SpacePilot (not Pro) wouldn't work with Bentley Microstation. Turned out that was because I actually had Bentley AECOsim, which includes Microstation and a ...

Thanks for answering. I v much like the way that these computations aren't disabled during 3D mouse rotation - it's great to be able to converge (using right hand 2D mouse) the second point of a half-placed element with its target, as it rotates (using left hand SpacePilot) into view - and it's nice...

Now that I have made a small 3D model, of 837K, in Microstation (attached),navigation using SpacePilot (not Pro) is sometimes painfully slow - frame by frame. It improved with latest Nvidia driver 307.32 for my Quadro FX580 but still must do better. The CPU is i3-2120 @3.30GHz. With SpacePilot conne...

select Object Mode - it's the only setting that makes sense as far as I can see so far.

Roll seems to be hit or miss when trying to roll the drawing I am looking at. If I roll the device counter-clockwise it seems to work somewhat better than rolling clockwise. Also, when I try rolling first, before mixing in any other axis movement, it doesn't seem to respond at all most of the time....

Downloaded the latest driver - no improvement. There's not much that can be tweaked. looks like I'll have to live with always moving the mouse off the model (off screen when zoomed in). Get a proper CAD graphics card.

You'l have to play with the Speed sliders to adjust the motion. Speed sliders seem to have no effect on the lack of smoothness of SpPilot-controlled movement in Acad 2006 (looks like 10 frames/sec - early silent movies-style) compared with e.g. Sketchup (very smooth - no visible framerate). OK it's...

Thank you. So is that what auto regen does - "allows transparent pan and zoom within a command"? (it does). Should it also regen the fragmented shading on a 3d model after a major SpPilot movement? (it doesn't on mine - I have to RE on the command line or go View>Regen after every major mo...

That's great, thanks. Acad3dx16.arx was not loaded, though all was working just the same as now - i.e. still not all that smooth, not like in SketchUp - but tolerable. Can I improve this? I now see the Help file. After every major zoom the shading goes crazy until Regen'd. The Auto Regen checkbox on...
