Hi krivel. 3Dconnexion is well aware of the issues you're reporting. In fact, the limitation is in the XSI application programming interface (API) and 3Dconnexion has already initiated a discussion with Softimage with a view to improve the support of our device. In this situation, we recommend our c...

Adobe Photoshop is no longer an application that 3Dconnexion actively supports on Windows. Users can still go to the 3Dconnexion download page and retrieve a plug-in for 3DxPhotoshop from the archive category.

Hi, JK. 3Dconnexion has a specific product for 3D manipulation "on-the-move": the SpaceTraveler designed to be carried around (lightweight, small form-factor) and sold with a protective casing. The software for the SpacePilot and SpaceTraveler is the same. It is simply a matter of unpluggi...

Hi jimbo921, you need to install 3DxOffice. It is available as a separate download at http://www.3dconnexion.com/support under the Archive category.
