After some research I found in this forum that Autodesk didnt let to use spacepilot in actual version of Fusion360. Is anybody here still using it?

Thanks

That is factually incorrect.

Autodesk went out of their way to support legacy driver interfaces to ensure compatibility with old devices in Fusion 360. Specifically, Fusion 360 has a user-configurable option in "Preferences > General > SpaceMouse driver" allowing the user to select between "Legacy" (for very old drivers) and "Latest".

I have the same problem with Fusion and Space Pilot.

It helps for me to make "Design" - "Design".

Thank you jwick for your help!

Have you find any other solution with this?

Is it possible to combine Config files from version 10.4.10 with latest available version of driver?
Or maybe newer firmware for Space Pilot? I have FW 4.05

10.4.10 to a current release is a big step. The driver probably won't do that correctly.
Send me your old files and tell me what version you want to run. I'll convert the manually for you.

Nothing special, just make more modern driver set for unsupported device. Mabe its possible by "small blood".

Hello, I am also having issues with getting my space pilot sp1 to work with fusion 360.
