Buttons won't map! even know they are in the editor...

Post by mattcscz »

Hello all,

Once again I'm having a problem with my space pilot pro :(
Basically, all my keys reset in Maya (on the screen, and in 3Dconnexion properties), but inside the 3D connexion button mapping editor they are as I had set them... (img: http://exaro-online.com/snap/1351039456-51qB84.jpg)

Anyone know any fixes?

Thanks
Fred

Maya, requires and add-in.
To properly map the buttons you must use the add-ins button mapping editor.
Open Maya,
Open a File.
Select the "Menu" Button on a SpacePilot PRO
This will bring up the popup menu
There should be a customize button
Selct this amd the Button mapping editor will open.
Make your button selections and save or close

If you have modified the buttons on your device and remapped the Menu button you should close out of the applicaiton open the 3Dcontrol panel click on Options restore defaults.
Then do the above step to map your buttons.

If all else fails perform a clean install of the driver you can locate the steps going to our Home page and choosing
Service, on the far right choose FAQ
enter in clean and search

Hi Fred,

Did you take a look at my screen shot? you can see in the background I've already done those steps and mapped the keys, however on the LCD screen they're still the defaults and won't change, for example you can see key 1 is mapped to move tool, however if I press key 1 it is actually menu.

I guess I'll have to do a clean install... again :(
