Problems with Inventor 2021

Post by grimlock »

I just upgraded from Inventor 2016 to 2021 and now I'm having issues with the buttons on my Enterprise. Namely, Inventor isn't responding. When I ran 2016, the 3D Connexion software would recognize when I switched from Model mode to Sketch mode to Assembly, etc. No input from me, just create a sketch and the software figured it out. Now all it seems to recognize is "Autodesk Inventor is the active window." I tried manually mapping "New Sketch" to Button 1, that button still didn't work. I tried a couple other Inventor-specific commands and no luck their either. To clarify, I was able to select commands from the dropdown of Inventor commands and the icon on the LCD screen would change to match but the button still did nothing in Inventor.

Similarly, the view buttons along the right side are also non-responsive, with the exception of the Lock Rotation button.

2016 is still on my machine but I can't run it because of license and registration hoops.

Any advice?

Never mind.
Updating the 3Dconnexion drivers fixed it.
