Acad MDT 07

Post by johnny555 »

Hello,

My company recieve the Space Pilot when we upgraded to 07 about 8 months ago and everything worked fine.

I recently upgraded my PC and now I am having problems getting the Pilot to work. I've gotten it to "see" which programs are open, but i cant get it to do anything.

I've uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled them 3 or 4 times, and still get the same results.

Also, in Autocad MDT 07, i do not see nor can i load the 3dconnexion toolbar, its as if Acad isn't seeing it. Is there a macro i need to run to make it work?

any help is greatly appreciated!

here's my info:

version 3.3.6
windows xp pro
SP 2
2.66GHz, 3.00 GB of Ram

update!

I was kickin around in my menu files, nothing major, restarted, and now the 3dconnexion toolbar is present!

Still though, the spacepilot is not doing anything. i can set a rotation point, everything on the toolbar seems to be working.

Hi johnny555,

Which version are you using? Ensure that you have the latest and then run the "Update Wizard" (right-click on the driver system tray icon). You need to be logged in as an administrator.

Hi johnny555

Please check what release of 3DxSoftware is installed. If you don't have the latest release (3DxSoftware v3.3.6) please download that one from here and install it.

Please post your findings afterwards.

Hi johnny555

Please test your device with the delivered Demos available under "Start -> All Programs -> 3Dconnexion -> 3Dconnexion 3DxWare -> Demos".

Do you have a standard commercial license for MDT 2007?

Hi johnny555

I would ask you to test the device on another computer as well. If it doesn't work either, please contact you regional technical support. The relevant contact information is available here.
