Problem with XSI on XP

Post by meshula »

Hello,
I can't seem to get any response from Space Traveler in XSI. I've tried re-running the 3dconnexion installer a couple of times to no avail.

Is there something you need to do within XSI to activate it?

The 3Dconnexion panel is accessible from the utilities tab (hammer icon). Click on Application --> Preferences --> 3Dx Control Panel or 3Dx Button Mapping Editor to access the plug-in options: Control Panel & Button Mapping Editor.

Thanks for your quick reply.

I'm sorry, I can't find a hammer icon in XSI 6.02.

Try the manual method of loading the plugin

* Manual Installation to User Addon directory:
Drag and drop 3DxSI.xsiaddon to XSI.
Thats it.

To manually install to the factory/work group directory:
Install the add-on using the XSI Add-on Manager:
Select File->Add-on->Install... from the main xsi menu bar

To find this file you will have to browse for it.
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxSI

I was able to get it working by re-installing the driver. Don't know why it didn't kick in the first time, but everything is fine now.

Merry Christmas!
