Solidworks 1008 SP4, Spaceball 5000, XP: No commands

[carmicp]

Assigning navigation (Iso, zoom all, etc.) items to buttons works fine as does assigning control panel & button mapping to a button. But if I try to assign a command such as line, rectangle or extrude to buttons 1, 2 or 3 the commands appear in control panel & button mapping but the commands will not execute. 3DControl is selected in add-ins. I remember there was a driver issue having to do with the sequence of installation and SolidWorks a couple years ago. But I have reinstalled drivers and still no commands. Am I missing something?

thanks!!!

Hi carmicp,

Apologises for not replying any sooner. Do you still see the issue where the commands are missing?

Hi Perry,

Has this issue been resolved? Have a user with the same issue.

BTW, this is also happening on my SpacePilot, did try new drivers/software

Dear carmicp,

Starting in SolidWorks 2008, commands need to be showing in a toolbar in order for them to be executed from a button mapping.

Sincerely,
Bryan
