Managing 3Dconnexion Profiles at the Office

Post by Alois »

Hi everyone,

A little spring mishap: I updated the 3Dconnexion driver on one of the office computers, and as usual, it completely reset the SpaceMouse Pro profile. The computer in question had been used by an intern a few months ago, so unsurprisingly, the default button mapping was a bit of a mess when it came to macros. So I went through the buttons one by one to reconfigure everything properly with my ArchiCAD shortcuts.

While testing, I stumbled upon a programmable button that opened an old web shortcut left in the default profile (an adult website categorized by topic). Given the overall state of the profile, this was only half surprising, but it took me about twenty minutes to clean everything up and reassign my usual macros (plan view, zoom, auto-pivot rotation). I also checked the other buttons at the top to make sure no other unused slots were hiding anything… Now everything’s working perfectly again. How do you handle configuring this kind of hardware for multiple users at the firm? Do you use locked profiles, or do you systematically reset the workstations after interns have used them?
