OS X 10.4.11 + Maya 2008 + SpaceNavigator

Post by skabear »

Problem:

// Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnDeviceChanged". //
// Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnButtonEvent". //

I got the latest version of Navigator software and read on these forums somewhere that u don't need a extra script/plugin to make this work in maya if you got the latest version. But I also tried it with the plugins that came with the "mouse" and with no luck. Also tried it with the:

MagellanStartup;

Here is maya's answer:
// Error: Cannot find procedure "wi". //

Is it supported? If so, how can I make it work?

Hi skabear,

what happens if you
A) Open the 3DConnexion Control Panel
B) Select "Configure -> Install Plug-Ins..."

Does it work then?

Nothing happens. Here is some more info that maya spits in my face:

{
warning "No Magellan device found. Start 3DxWare and then restart Maya\n";
}

Please check if there are older scripts present. You could do a Spotlight-search for the file "usersetup.mel" - there should be only one with "MagellanStartup" in it.

Which 3DConnexion driver version do you have installed?

aha, thank you rstadie. The problem was that the 3dxware innstalled the scripts in the wrong folder:

users/shared/autodesk/maya/scripts

and not:

users/shared/autodesk/maya/2008/scripts

I also had usersetup.mel file for my bonus tools, so I just added the MagellanStartup too that one.
