3DxWare software creates settings files all over the place

Post by RedShift »

I'm using PTC Pro Engineer Wildfire 4.0 and the 3DxWare software is creating XML configuration files with weird filenames in *all* of the working directories of Pro Engineer. For example:

孷翺
끰ങ
虐ങ

(See attached screenshot)

The content of these files is the same every time:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration><userSettings><_3dmouse.properties.settings><setting name="3DxPanZoom" serializeAs="String"><value>true</value></setting><setting name="3DxRotation" serializeAs="String"><value>true</value></setting><setting name="3DxDominant" serializeAs="String"><value>false</value></setting><setting name="Speed" serializeAs="String"><value>1</value></setting></_3dmouse.properties.settings></userSettings></configuration>
The version of 3DxWare is 10.4.9. Can this be fixed?

Hello RedShift,

what language is your Windows and what language is your ProENGINEER Wildfire?

Our driver is not writing the XML files to any folder of ProENGINEER. I assume that these files were created by Wildfire directly. Can you translate the file names?
