I can confirm, this is STILL an issue. I remember it from many years ago, and recently purchased a wireless Navigator. I LOVE the smooth orbiting, and had forgotten how to fix this problem. I do ArchViz work in 3DSMax and without fail, imported CAD floor plans cause Max to freeze up (for a few minut...

Ya, I've got this exact same problem. Using Max2012 64bit. Windows 7. I'm also using older versions of both video and SpacePilot drivers because there are too many issues with the newer drivers. If I rotate, zoom, or pan in the viewport I can no longer select an object until I press my middle mouse ...

Thanks for the quick reply Fred. I will try this but I have a few questions first. In the ".../local" folder there is no "Roaming" subdirectory. Did you mean for me to look in both the "local" and "roaming" folders (within AppData)? and then in the "3DCon...

Hi, After having too many frustrations with the Beta 10 drivers, I've reverted back to the 3.14.2 version and I'm seeing a problem I wasn't seeing before. I'm using 3dsMax 2011, and when orbiting or panning in the viewports, upon releasing the navigator knob the viewport continues to pan or orbit as...

Thanks Uta, I'll keep an eye out for the next driver release and maybe it'll be fixed.

Hi, As I mentioned in a previous post, I often use Max 9 for preparing models to sell online. However I do the modeling in Max2011, and use Max 9 for creating materials and rendering preview images. So I often have both versions open at the same time. As you may be aware, Max2010+ has some viewport ...

Hi, I don't know if I'm missing something or not, but I frequently use 3dsMax version 9 for creating models to sell online (I use the older version for forward compatibility so more people can use the models, not just those using max 2010 or 11 and newer). When using orthographic viewports, as soon ...

Bryan, Does that mean that 3D Connexion currently CANNOT add navigation functionality to SLATE similar to what we can now do in the orthographic viewports? And because of limitations in 3dsmax? If so, I will send a note to Autodesk. However, it seems like a request coming from 3D Connexion would be ...

I'm wondering if it'd be possible in an upcoming driver release for the Space Pilots to work in the different node views of 3dsMax. Particularly in the Slate Material Editor. However, right now the SpacePilot continues to navigate in the main scene viewports. I think it'd be a real natural way to wo...

Uta,
I sent the dump file over a couple hours ago... I had logged out of the forum though and didn't see your message. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

I thought I would revive this thread, as I think being about to rotate the view using the navigator would be a really, really nice feature. It'd be a very close feeling to just turning a sheet of paper under your pen.... a very very natural way to do it (as opposed to clicking on the tool, rotating,...

Max ought to generate a crash dump. Can you send that to me?

I would love to send you the file! What's the best way to send it to you??

Aye....
