3Dconnexion Forum

Hi marklaff,

If you have a question on developing software solutions for 3D mice, I suggest you create a new topic in the relevant Forum (see here).

Continuing such discussion in this thread will be off-topic and confusing for others following it.

What else can be hanging? Do you have some kind of reg key hidden under another name? The files may have been removed but the database of Windows Installer may be corrupted. Using the "Windows Installer Clean Up Utility" as explained above should help clear that up. The tool can be downlo...

Hi Warren,

If you see "empty" items listed on the "Windows Installer Clean Up Utility" panel, remove those as well.

Hi Neal,

Which version of 3Dconnexion's software do you have installed?

Hi Mike Christie,

I believe what you referring to has been this discussed in this topic.

An update: 3Dconnexion released an update to the Windows software. 3DxSoftware v. 3.6.7 includes a change to the 3ds Max 2009 plug-in that should address reported in this thread. You may download the software here . We appreciate if customers using 3ds Max 2009 on Windows Vista can post here the res...

Hi David Phillips,

Looking forward to the new features.

Do note that no decision has been made to implement the feature described above ("helicopter mode") in the 3Dconnexion extension for SketchUp.

3Dconnexion developed and maintains a solution for SketchUp. This is implemented as an extension to the application (similar to a plug-in).

Navigation in SketchUp and the "3DxSketchUp" menu and toolbar are features of that extension.

Sorry, no. This has been flag as a possible enhancement. There's a process to follow after that and we do not normally pre-announce features.

You need to install the latest release candidate for version 1.20.

For the record, the 3D Connexion control "Zoom" in SketchUp (and Google Earth for that matter) does not actually zoom. Zooming implies that the viewer stands in place and the angle of view narrows or widens. Rather, the control might better be labeled "Track" or "Dolly"...

Hi Steeve_Hardings,

Support for Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 (all editions) was added in 3DxSoftware v. 3.6.

Using earlier versions of 3DxSoftware in XP SP3 is not a supported configuration.

Hi Art5,

Which version of SL have you installed? Full support for 3D mice is available in the latest release candidates.

Hi David Phillips, I've tried Camera mode: it does not accomplish what I'm after. Instead, it fixes the user's position, and the controls then become the means whereby the user "looks around" the 3D environment, In camera mode, you can "look around" and "move around". T...

Hi Uziemblo,

You may have an old Inventor configuration for your 3D mouse driver.

Try this: start Inventor, open the driver Control Panel and select the configuration "Inventor". Return to Inventor and check if the macros show up in the button mapping editor.
