Just bought a SpaceMouse Pro which will not work at all with SolidWorks 2004 running on Windows 7.
Tried loading several archive drivers and still has no functionality. Apparently, there is an old SW2004 driver for the spaceball 5000 (found on another thread) but this won't work in Windows 7. The SpaceMouse demo works well but when trying to activate the add-in in SW2004 a message says: please try loading SW2005 or newer.
This will be a tough one.
Since the SM Pro came out in 2011, it does not ship with plugins for 7 year old software.
Likewise, the driver/plugin packages which do support SW2004 arent going to directly support a device that didnt yet exist.
Sometimes older Vista drivers will load into Windows 7.
There is a Spaceball5000 (2003) package (3DxSoftware 3.7.22) or slightly newer SpacePilot (2005) package (3DxSoftware 3.16.3) for Vista, available in both 32bit and 64bit versions. The plugins from one of those install packages might hook into the current modern drivers.
