Problem after using buttons under Mastercam X5 MU1

I have search the forum before posting this.
Each time I click on a button I loose the control of the application.
I have to clic again on the screen with the conventional mouse to be able to get my Spacenavigator working.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks.

We are working with the Mastercam engineers to try to figure out what is going on there. It has something to do with issuing keyboard macros to Mastercam.
Which 3DxWare driver are you using?

My driver is: 3DxWare 10 Beta 11 (Windows 64-bit)

This is the only one who works with X6 beta 3.

The old 3DxWare driver will work fine with the beta they released a week or so ago. Your keyboard macros will probably work better too.

To All Mastercam Resellers and Beta Sites:

The 3DxWare 10 Beta 11 (or higher) driver is required for Mastercam X6 Beta 3. You must uninstall any existing 3Dconnexion driver before installing this one.

I don't think that's exactly correct. It was correct for the version from a month or so ago. We are encouraging them to have you use it, but with this problem with the keyboard macros, you should try the old 3DxWare driver (the released, not beta, driver).

I have tried the released driver: 3DxSoftware64_v3-14-2_r1170
It works perfectly with Mastercam X5 MU1. No more keyboard macros problems.

I confirm this driver does not work with the new Mastercam X6 beta 3 as stated in the email from Mastercam Technical Services Manager Jim Evans.

I must run X6 beta 3 so I will deal with this bug until it is solved by CNC Software.

Thank you jwick for your time. 3Dconnexion has the greatest customer service on earth.
