Trying to use Space Pilot Pro in RapidForm

Post by Kahsikmahn »

I have searched for rapidform and I can't find any help on this at all, I just installed rapidform yesterday and the space pilot was not recognizing it, it just says any application, so I uninstalled the drivers for the space pilot, I re-downloaded the 3.15.3.r1244 drivers and reinstalled hopping that it would see it.

It is listed as supported software, but it does not see it, the movement in the program is incorrect also.

If any body could help I would appreciate it, thank you.

Space Pilot Pro in RapidForm

Post by Barbara »

Hi Kahsikmahn -

If you are seeing movement with the SpacePilotPRO inside Rapidform, that indicates the device is being detected by the application. You can save a profile with your Rapidform preferences for axis directions and speed using Options-Save As in the 3Dconnexion Properties window.The 3Dconnexion software does not have a preset profile for Rapidform. For applications that have a 3Dconnexion profile, you would see the application name rather than 'Any Application'.

It is the Rapidform developers who decide how 3d devices behave in their application.This is different than in an application like SolidWorks where the navigation is controlled by a 3Dconnexion add-in.

When support for 3d devices is integrated into the application software as it is in Rapidform, it is their technical support that works with using our devices in their software. Inus Technology support would be the right source for specific information about any modes or settings that should be used or to request changes for future versions.
