Dear Jim,

Yes, Shift+arrows moves in larger increments than just arrows. i manage to pan but even adding the shift modifier section in my cfg file, it does not apply. Does it apply for you? Were you using opera too or another web utility? Regarding zoom, did you used the Z axis?

I just used your file with a fresh download of Opera.

You can see what is being sent by turning on "Write Log File" under the 3Dx systray icon, the using baretail to watch the end of the log file (%localappdata%\3Dconnnexion\3DxWare\3DxService.log).

@AlexGalland were you able to get it working? If so, would you be willing to share your config file for eSlide Manager WebViewer? Thank you!

Dear Community
We also got a space mouse and we like to use it for digital pathology.
The program we use is Aperio ImageScope. The joystick should be moved forward and backward to navigate the screen and zoom in and out with the left and right scroll wheel and alos have a function for fine zooming.
I have tried to change the xml file but with little success.
Can you help me with this?

Hello, Alex. Do you file cfg? I would like to use my 3dmouse like a mouse. I am pathologist and I trying to improve my digital cases.

Many thanks.

Has anyone been able to figure this out yet. We are using Aperio ImageScorpe 12.4.6 and I have 3D SpaceMouse Pro 3DxWare 10.8.10. The only item that I am able to make work with the Zoom in/out by moving the control head backwards and forward. I would like to see if I can get the 3D mouse to pan left/right up and down.

I have something you can try.
I don't consider it production worthy but if it is useful, perhaps we can use it to convince LeicaBiosystems to add proper support.
PM / email me to try it.

I can’t PM you for some reason, but would be interested in trying your solution. I also have a direct line to Leica’s R&D team, so if it’s usable, I could work on implementing an official solution. Could you please message me? Thanks!
