Desk Top just replaced, i need config help please...

Post by Johnny C! »

I have read this thread again, but has apparently been too long for me to remember how to recover my "good" config. viewtopic.php?t=264&highlight=remap

Please help! I am lost without my Explorer!

Hi John -

The location of the profiles [.scg files] depends on which OS you are using.

For Win7 :
C: --> Users --> [Username] --> AppData -->Roaming---> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

In XP the AppData folder is Application Data in C:\Documents and Settings.

Button mappings do not transfer well between operating systems. If there are mapped buttons you want to transfer, it is best to make a note of how your buttons are mapped and re-create them on the new PC.

Barbara,
I found the user files again, and
I have edited them as before, but I
can't get them recognized by Inventor
yet. I know I had trouble with that
before, but I have to leave for the
day, so I will check back in on
Monday.

Thanks!

John

Barbara,
I have tried every combination
of updating the axis values,
stopping the app, running the
app, closing Inventor & rebooting,
multiple times this am, but I still
don't have it workiing. What am
I missing?

I also have multiple user
combo's listed in the apps
pull down. See attached.

I was still having problems with my profiles switching back & forth &
still wanted to customize my zoom & pan axes so with jwick's advice &
Fred's help I installed the Beta & it is sweet! I like the interface so much better!

Thanks!
