Stuck - space explorer joystick not working in solid edge

Post by chris conway »

Buttons are working but joystick does not. updated via wizard but still same behaviour. unable to uninstall.

in the control panel everything works in the puzzle test.

seems like a plug in issue with solid works

thoughts ?

Which CAD system, Solid Edge or SOLIDWORKS? What's the version of the CAD system?
Have you ever considered upgrading the hardware from Space Explorer to the latest SpaceMouse series?

A new driver supporting new versions of design and engineering software doesn't fall from sky with no cost, it needs human labour hours of software programming and computer compiling resources & time, let along liaison with many third-party software vendors to trouble-shoot compatibility issues.

In solidworks you can turn off the 3D connections add on. Could it be something like that?

This would mean a major business model change for 3Dconnexion. I don't know if there's a planned obsolescence scheme in the making...

of course it is!
how would you explain that one device is stop working with the new version of Cinema4D and still works with the previous one!

If you are happy to pay it's ok, but I will'never buy a 3dconnexion device any more.

Buying drivers means less "electronics garbage" for the enviroment and they will be paid insted!

It's much harder for third-party to duplicate the hardware than the software, where in this case you can make an immediate copy of the 3DxWare driver on your computer within seconds.

can you make an immediate "working" copy of Cinema4D? or SolidEdge? or Windows 11?

there is plenty of solutions, seems to me that you're trying to not see what is obvious.
