This is a result of a limitation in the Solid Edge API when using a Design&Drafting license.

You are correct: you have the latest version installed.

At this stage, I would suggest you to make a clean up of your 3Dconnexion software and reinstall. The procedure is explained in this Knowledge Base article.

The email was sent to the same address as used to create your account in the Forum. That response was provided on August 22nd.

The configuration seems to be saved: (Solid Edge - Current user ) You may have old configurations that are conflicting with your current 3Dconnexion software. Close Solid Edge (if running), open the 3Dconnexion Control Panel (Start menu, Programs, 3Dconnexion, 3Dconnexion 3DxWare) and delete the sa...

Which version of 3DxSoftware have you got installed? The latest build can be downloaded from here.

An other problem is that SpaceNavigator forget all settings every time I restart Solid Edge You should try to use the "Button Mapping" panel in Solid Edge. You have access to a large range of application commands in a an easy, drag-and-drop interface. The panel can be access from the &quo...

Hi slompf,

Good news. You are correct: the "rotation" vector is a unit-length direction vector. The vector components vary in the range [-1..+1] but the values are not discrete (integers) but scalars (floats).

Hi krivel, We had look at the scenario that you reported and, in our set-up, the installation of the add-in works as expected. We used Windows x64 and a mixed install of 32- and 64-bit XSI. We also believe we understand what is happening on your system. To install an XSI plug-in, the installer must ...

Hi cacciatorino,

auto rotation center" but it is not possible to enable it (the button is gray)

If you restart Solid Edge, is the option is grayed out?

Note that some types of Solid Edge licenses will disable parts of the API. One such license is "Design&Drafting".

I have sent an email to tech support and have not received any sort of reply whatsoever. This is a disappointment. If you can, do send me a private message with the details of that contact (for example, the date and your email address). Our records indicate that you were contacted on the same day (...

Bonjour Foxtrott,

Malheureusement, il y a des modelés de hub usb que ne suive pas la norme correctement.

Avez vous accès à un hub d'une marque différente?

Hi Gohybrid, As soon as I shut down the computer or the driver otherwise stops, the SpacePilot buttons refuse to map or work properly per the active application. The only way to repair it is to do a clean install. This is definitely not the normal behaviour. There might be something wrong with your ...

Hi slompf, The rotation values are in axis domination mode either -1, 0 or 1. This is not the normal range of values. Is this a limitation to space navigator pe or maybe a matter of preferences? The PE hardware is not limited in any way compared to the SE. The difference (level of support) is explai...

Hi krivel,

Maybe due to the multiple versions on my system?

This is a possibility. We will look into this and report back here.

Hi cacciatorino, The n.2 problem (wrong rotation center) is still here. You can reassign the rotation point by using the "Sets Rotation Center" available from the "3Dcontrol" toolbar. The use of this command is explained in the on-line help document (press the "?" icon ...
