SpaceMouse Wireless trouble switching between eDrawings and SolidWorks

Post by mmoorhead09 »

We use SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM which uses eDrawings to preview files in windows explorer. When browsing our vault I can rotate models in the preview, but when I switch back to SW I can no longer rotate the model. Clicking in the SW window doesn't fix the issue. When I pull up my radial menu and go to the SpaceMouse preferences it shows eDrawings at the top, indicating what application the SpaceMouse is trying to control, and not SW.

The only way to reconnect to SW is to restart it altogether, not super practical when I have large files checked out of the vault.

I am able to switch between other applications and back to SW with no issues (Draftsight, Chrome, Foxit, Adobe).

3DxWare: 10.8.8.3488
3DxWinCore 17.8.8.19525
SolidWorks 2019
Windows 10 Pro

Any help is greatly appreciated.
