spacemouse enterprise - question about icons and text on display

Post by majora »

Hello there,

i recently aquired the spacemouse enterprise, running with
3dxware 10.8.12.3545
3dxWinCore 17.8.12.19992
Spacemouse Ent. FW:4.42

like shown in attached pictures, i set some buttons to specific functions,
but the text on the display is cut off, after a few letters.

so on the spacemouse display i can only read "Sensibili..." instead of "Sensibilität erhöhen"

this is very unfortunate.

is this normal ?
or am i missing something ?
is there a way to edit whats on the screen ?


thankyou and greetings!

I believe this is normal.

Therefore we try to find short names for our commands. In this case of yours it would look like "Sensib. +" and "Sensib. -", or "S +", "S -". In the end, when working with software, we only need a short reminder what each button does, not a full description. But I agree with you, it would be good to have more options for designing the text. However, this would complicate the xml files, where the specific information is stored, quite much.

with my spacepilot it was possible.

i really liked the spacepilot, but unfortunately it is now excluded from the current drivers and cant be used with substance painter anymore.

but i sold the enterprise already on ebay and will try the compact now.
(the enterprise was not for me.. i didnt like the display, the button layout, the overall shape and design, the size, the sticky surface and all this)
