Spacemosue enterprices do not recognize Inventro enviroment

Post by bencol »

Hi all,
3Dconnextion drivers stopped recognizing environments in Inventor 2020, no matter if I'm in part, assembly or drawing
it always "Inventor - default" so I can only assign one button for all environments. Before I had "Inventor - Part", "Inventor - Assembly" etc . Already tried reinstalling drivers (with full clean up https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/ ... ndows.html), tried older version, updated inventor. I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

The application environment is detected by an add-in. In Inventor, go to ribbon > Tools tab > Add-ins to open the "Add-In Manager" panel. Then check if the 3Dconnexion add-in (3DxInventor) is loaded and set to load automatically.

If it is marked "blocked", you may have installed the 3Dconnexion software to an unsecured directory. Inventor pretty much requires all software to be installed to "C:\Program Files".

Did you have to change anything to get it to work?

In my Add-In Manager 2022 I dont see any 3DxInventor. Should I un-install and then install back the 3D Connexion software??

Did you install the 3Dconnexion software to the default directory at "C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion"? If not, please try that and see if Inventor will now find the add-in.
