SpaceMouse on CATIA v5 r20, W7, 64

[gsairus]

Hello everyone,
before create this topic I tested, tried all found possibilities to force work my spacenavigator in CATIA but no chance. Reinstall of both drivers and Catia has not helped. Deleting of variable ADL_ODT_IN force to work right button of mouse in CATIA and start the "CATIA panel", however this panel says no equipment was found. Tools>Option>.. SpaceMouse button is activated. I will very appreciate you for any help.

Try the below FAQ:

Catia recognizes a USB device as a network connection.This FAQ describes the firewall exception needed http://www.3dconnexion.com/faq/4

Typically on a network an IT tech is needed to add a firewall exception. To add an exception for the Catia executable - CNEXT.EXE - the IT tech needs to determine where on your system CNEXT.exe is located. Common paths for CNEXT.exe are C:|Program Files|Dassault Systemes|B17|intel_a|code|bin|CNEXT.exe

C:|Program Files|Dassault Systemes|B17SP5PRALL|intel_a|code|bin|CNEXT.exe"

C:|Program Files|Dassault Systemes|B19|win_b64|code|bin|CNEXT.exe

To add a firewall exception for the 3Dconnexion software, add the path for 3dxsrv.exe [C:|Program Files|3Dconnexion|3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware|3DxWare|3dxsrv.exe] On a 64-bit system the 3DxWare folder is 3DxWare64.
When navigation is present in the demos but not in Catia , check whether it was working then stopped after a Catia crash. This forum thread describes a Windows7 registry key created after a Catia crash that must be removed to re-enable navigation.

Oh, yeah, bingo. The firewall had blocked the 3Dconnexion software!!! I thought there was some errors with the application, then I just uninstalled it and then re-installed it. You know, it just did not work... Thank you very much, Fred

Hi LillieLarry,

Oh, yeah, bingo. The firewall had blocked the 3Dconnexion software!!!

Not quite. The firewall blocks CNEXT.exe (CATIA) from accessing the firewall and this blocks the internal routing of events in CATIA, not in 3Dconnexion software.
