Mac OS X Lion - Space Navigator no longer works

Post by chrisjk »

What the topic says. I mainly use it for Sketchup - no joy - can we expect a driver update anytime soon?

It's only SketchUp?

We have a plug-in for a SketchUp (an "extension"). For this to work properly, it needs to be installed after the application is already on the system.

Do you recall if you first installed the 3Dconnexion software and only then SketchUp? If so, try reinstalling the 3D mouse software again.

Same problem -- proposed fix fails

After upgrading to Lion I re-installed your driver and it worked, but Sketchup would crash after a few minutes of use.

I completely uninstalled Sketchup and re-installed it.

I re-installed your driver.

Same symptoms. Any other ideas?

Same for me. But in my case SpaceNavigator became useless in whole Alias package. (((

Hello guys,

can you please give me some information on your systems:
What exact OS X version and machine are you running on?
What is the version of your 3DxWare for Mac?
To get this information, please open the System Preferences -> 3Dconnexion.
If you've installed the official driver you now go to the Configure drop down (where the application configuration are listed) and select "About 3Dconnexion".
If you happen to have the beta driver from our "Lab's" page, then just open the "Tools" section - you find the version number in the lower left.

In the case of a crash:
Is there a crash report available? Please send it to me!
If you're able to reproduce the crash scenario, please also send me a short description on how to do so.

@kir-amp:
Regarding Alias, are you talking about Maya? Which versions?


Please, let me know as much information as possible!
Just to encourage you: I found no issues with Lion and Sketchup (also Maya).


Regards,

Christian Robl

Hi divinny,
