Radial menu Catia v5

[asier]

Hi all,
I've just get my hands on a new spacenavigator and it's neat but I'm having problems using it on Catia V5 R19.
I can assign whatever comand I want for the buttons via Catia's toolbar, even the virtual notepad, but can't find the radial menu option anywhere.
The radial menus work on the 3dconnexion training environment so I think is just Catia has some problems with it.

Driver version: v10.2.3r1903

thanks in advance

I've been looking at the cfg files the program creates for Catia and other programs where the radial menu is supported, and I think a workaround can be made editing those cfg files to include the radial menu for each button but have no idea how. It seems it has a comand to pass the control to Catia to execute the Catia's comands called "App_PassToApplication" so maybe writing the radial menu as for any other program and then, for each of the 4 virtual buttons write that comand and the desired Catia comand works...
I don't know what order is needed to program the menus so any help on this would be apreciated too

Hi asier,

sorry, but the radial menus are not available in Catia. ButtonMapping is done completely within Catia and the radial menu is a feature of the driver.

That is a huge dissapointment. The virtual numpad is from Catia then?
I've seen some people have made a macro on Catia to call an external app and make a workaround as shown here https://ithinkiknowwhatimdoing.wordpres ... asy-steps/, so it definitely is doable.
Any chance of including it in a future update?
thanks

Well, for the silence I understand it is not a problem you are working on or want to fix either. The tecnical support has to improve a lot. Its unbelievable the software limits the functionality of a product of this price.
