3d Space Pilot Pro - Need Help!

[jeffdsnyder13]

I am using my Space Pilot Pro with Mastercam 2017. My issue is after working in Mastercam for awhile & trying to open a Mastercam drawing, it locks up & will not respond. Once it opens up, the toggle will not work but the buttons will.

Initially it was thought that my pc wasn't built for everything that I was doing but after trying another pc that we were sure was able to handle everything I still have the same problem. If I reboot the pc, it will work freely for a little bit but then the same issue returns. Next I tried unplugging the Space Pilot & had no more issues. Next I tried a different Space Pilot thinking it may be bad. This did not fix it either. I have tried uninstalling the drivers & then re-installing them but continue to have the same issues.

Are you using MC with Solidworks and the MC SW plugin?

I've had the same problem. Using mastercam 2017 all of a sudden the 3d doesn't work at all. The plane buttons work but no 3d. The space explorer works with other cad programs, Solidworks and Autocad but not mastercam. Very frustrating. When the problems started I had to start mastercam first before any other cad programs and the thing would work. Now nothing.
