Hi guys, i recently tried to install the 3dx 10 beta so i could use zbrush with my 3d mouse, however this broke Maya so I tried uninstalling it and going back to 3.5(ish) (my previous installment) but I still get the same error.
I tried following this: http://www.3dconnexion.com/service/tech ... 0137339202
But I can't uninstall anything for Maya 08 and for older versions the plugin isn't there, besides I didn't install the plugin i only copied the 3DxMaya.mll file to the plugin directories. I've written more details about the problem here but decided to open a more relevent thread: http://www.3dconnexion.co.uk/forum/view ... c&start=45 (from about page 4 onwards)
thanks.
Maya driver problem with space pilot pro
Moderator: Moderators
Because I was cloggin up another thread with the wrong topic I decided to move all here, so heres all the stuff I posted:
thanks for all the replys =-), but now i have another problem. It seems maya has stopped working now... in the script line it says:
"// Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnDriverFunctionsChanged".
" // Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnMotionEvent".
and all of my functions on the mouse LCD screen are "..."
Im using maya 2008, I just like this version opposed to newer ones, i haven't yet tried the newer versions yet :/
Max does work (2011).
after doing some looking around i found this link " http://www.3dconnexion.com/service/tech ... 0137339202 "
However it isn't very description and from what i know of windows you can't "uninstall plugins from add or remove programs" and when i check both program files/bin/plugins and mydoc/maya/plugins there is only 1x plugin of 3dxmaya.mll :/
After trying to fix this i decided the movement in zbrush really isn't worth all the hassle =) so I decided to go back to 3.5, any ways it still isn't working so I decided to delete every plugin I could find of 3dxmaya.mll and with a little luck I got my profile to load correctly with all my key bindings however it doesn't respond to Maya as the plugin isn't there.
so I Ran the usersetup.mel inside of Maya:
source "C:/Program Files/3Dconnexion/3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware/3DxMaya32/scripts/usersetup.mel";
// Warning: Move Camera //
// Warning: Rotate around center of the scene/object! //
// Warning: Fly mode on! //
// Warning: Rotation Scale 2.5198421 //
// Warning: Translation Scale 1.587401052 //
// Error: Plug-in, "3DxMaya.mll", was not found on MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH. //
So im getting somewhere, but when ever i put the 3dxmaya in the plugins folder it goes back to the errors:
"// Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnDriverFunctionsChanged".
" // Error: Cannot find procedure "_3DxOnMotionEvent".
I'm thinking of doing a system restore however I would really like to avoid this as I've done a lot of game work and i lost quite a lot last time...
Hello,
I tried an uninstall before, but i decided to try again, but this time i deleted every trace of the program but still the problem remains after reinstall.
When installing i checked custom, made sure Maya plugin was selected and it was. I decided to install Maya 2012 to see if this would work however I get the same error here.
One thing I noticed is when I start up Maya i get a new box "3D Mouse News" which I never used to get with my previous installation, which leads me to believe that there may be some other files I've missed outside of program files/app data ect. Maybe some old stuff is stuck in the registry :/
I did however get a little closer to fixing the problem by:
#1 remove all plugins from Maya directories
#2 launch Maya
#3 run the user startup.mel script
#4 put the plugins into the directorys and load them (without restarting Maya)
This returned the functionality of the mouse's movement and got rid of all the errors, however my buttons still had no functionality.
Just in-case someone does reply heres the things I've tried:
#Uninstalling - reinstalling
#Uninstalled, removed every existent part of 3D connexion, re downloaded drivers and installed.
#System restore + uninstall + reinstall of earlier version.
#Install a newer version of Maya
#delete plugin directories of Maya (so they re-create at launch)
#manually enabling/disabling plugin
#Disable plugin then run the start up scripts (this was close to working as posted before but no button functionality).
#Running 3DxRepair.exe
#Installing on a different machine and copying over
Things to still try:
#Locating key locations in registry and deleting (If someone will tell me where they are stored)
#Reformatting pc
#Ring and cry on the 3D connexion helpline.
There may be some other things I tried but I've forgotten

Re: Maya driver problem with space pilot pro
Hello mattcscz,
did you try the clean uninstallation as described here?
After that you should as well check all plugin, scripts and bin folders of your Maya installation(s) if rests were remaining.
Search for
Then you should do a new installation of the current release driver (3DxSoftware 3.13.0).
Please let me know your results.

Hey there UtaSH, sorry for hanging up (if that was you I was speaking to on the phone) Iphone screens can be a little sensitive when talking, I must have hung up with my cheek ^^.
I did a complete uninstall, deleted all registry keys and app data as well as the 3Dxmaya.mll (so yes i followed the steps) however this did not work either, but I didn't take into account:
C3Dx*.mel
MagellanStartup.mel
usersetup.mel
So I will perform these steps again and see if I get lucky =)
Thanks again for your help.

ok so I did:
#uninstall the software
#delete any left overs in the registry, appdata, program files, temp and maya plugin directories.
#unplug mouse
#install software
#plug in mouse (I've tried both with and without unplugging)
The problem doesn't begin until I run "start 3DxWare" but before that I have no functionality and the mouse screen is black, however the 3DxMaya.mll plugin sits in Maya without any errors. So im thinking maybe the 3DxStart is running a Second version of the plugin, So im going to try a little renaming, is it possible to get a source code version of the software?
Im starting to think that maybe it isn't 3Dx software that's causing the problem but maybe something in Maya, since max and other software still works fine. Maybe Maya has some sort of cache of plugins that im missing that's in raw script or binary..

Hello mattcscz,
no, it wasn't me, but I heard that the call was disconnected.
Unfortunately we can not give you the source code. You can look at the mel scripts if this helps ...
I got some hints from the development:

I got some hints from the development:
- Please make sure that 3DxMaya.mll is not autoloaded! Check in Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Plug-in Manager if Auto load is unchecked.
- You can remove any settings in Maya by deleting the folder 2008-x64 (if you have a 64bit platform) in the maya folder in your documents folder. This brings your Maya back to the default.

I love you UtaSH! The combination of un-ticking "auto-load" and running the "usersetup.mel" restored both movement and button functionality! Now I just need to get the usersetup to run every time I open Maya but I can easily save it as a script and stick it on the shelf 
Thanks a lot for your help and for not abandoning me!
