Cannot see my config

Post by mishikwest »

Win 7 x64


configs just disappeared from my list.

My configs are there, in my user\appdata\roaming\econnexion\3dxware

Tried all the usual uninstall/reinstall/delete folder/ reg clean etc.

They are IN THE folder, but I just can't get my pilot to see them.

Hi mishikwest,

the configs are only loaded if the corresponding application is running. If you created a config for Google Earth you can only see it in the drop downlist of the 3Dconnexion control panel if Google Earth is running. But you can see a list of all those configs that you created if you go to "Options -> Delete Saved Configurations ... ". Here you have the possibility to delete those that you don't need any more.

Does this help? :)

Hi uludwig

i do have the same problem here, running a space pilot under Win7 64bit and your solution does not help for me.
First i had to run 3dsrv.exe as Admin to get the buttons working at all (within Rhino3D) - and now i experience the same problem as mishikwest: after rebooting and restarting rhino my custom rhino-config can't be choosen anymore. I could delete it, but i can't run it :shock:
I made the custom-config while running rhino and used it und rhino, but it doesnt appear anymore.
any other idea?

I mean - if you deleted it? How can you expect to be able to use it?

If you have a SpacePilot it shows the name of the currently loaded configuration at the top of the display. What does it show after you started Rhino?

Please go to %APPDATA%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles and let me know how many files you have there and what are the names.

Hi Uta,

of course i did not really delete it, i just wrote "i could delete it", cause it was in the list under "gespeicherte Konfiguration löschen".

The display shows "Rhinoceros", when i start Rhino (or sometimes "3Dcom Modular") i altered that Config to "Rhino_V2", but that's the one i cant use since then.

Anyway, i found a work-around meanwhile (which might work for mishikwest too):
I dont modify the "Rhinoceros"-config but the one labeled "beliebige Anwendung". This one is choosable under Rhino too, and it works fine. As long as i only need it to work with one single program, that seems to do the job.
