Manually edit scg files???

Post by adam.n »

I have a 4000FLX and am having a time trying to set the buttons so they work with my programs. WinXP, Inventor, Alibre etc. They seem to never stay programmed and I tried the latest driver all the way back to one from 2004. No luck

Could someone explain how the assignments happen on the button. I know of the scg file and the place in the registry where the "names' of button definitions are used. But, does the program use the scg files to generate a user profile or is it read every time that program starts? Is there a document that tells of the format of the scg files.....etc

I would like to be able to set buttons with <alt><p> for example.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi adam.n

3dconnexion discontinued support for serial devices. completely. The last release which offers support for serial devices is 3DxSoftware v2-8-2.

The easyest way would be to buy a new device, the prices are very competitive. You would have the advantage of full support for some years (for surely).

Editing the *.scg files isn't so easy, but not impossible. Unfortunately I can't send you such a document.
