Losing mouse functionality in Siemens NX 8

Post by MikeVoisine »

Hello,

I am running Siemens NX 8 on Windows 7 64-bit with the SpaceMouse Pro and with the latest drivers installed. The mouse works fine until I shutoff or restart my computer. When NX is launched again, full functionality of the mouse is lost. The only way I have found so far to restore full functionality is by reinstalling the drivers. Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi MikeVoisine,

that sounds as if it is a question of privileges. The driver and the application (NX) have to be started by the same user. Otherwise the driver cannot communicate with the plugin (3DxNX). When you install the driver you have to do this with elevated privileges (ad administrator) and after you finish the installation the driver is started with the privileges of the installing account -the admin.
Either make sure you start NX as the logged in user. Or always start the driver with the same privileges as NX.
