macOS Big Sur and Monterey - Pre-release Driver Available

[zoomer]

BTW

I installed the last beta driver on my new M1 Mini.
Tested with Enterprise only so far.
Basically works.

I tried Vectorworks V21.
Currently it works the same way as on Big Sur with old Intel Macs.
3D navigation is ok.
Some of the View related Buttons work.
Modifier keys + 1-12 Display keys do not work.
Display does not show the function's names which are assigned to
the Vectorworks for 1-12 buttons, but "3D Mouse Default" only
instead.

Dark Mode would be really cool, if only the text-background in
the button grid, would be a lot darker.

I am using the most recent Beta and having issues with macros using modifier keys (command, option control) in Fusion 360. Big Sur 11.1.

It's on the to-do list, yes.

We are aware of limitations with modifiers. What exactly is the macro that fails with Fusion 360?

No luck for me with an M1 MacBook Air and wireless Space Mouse. Works fine on Big Sur with my iMac.

Basically any motion of the device causes the mouse pointer to either jump to the top of the screen or the bottom, regardless of the app in use.

Please let me know if I can provide logs or other information to help diagnose.

We don't yet have a native build for the M1 but the description of the problem you're seeing (mouse pointer moving to the edge of the display) suggest you're affected by a known issue (MAC-269).

In the meantime, you may want to try connecting your SpaceMouse to the M1 system using a cable. My assumption is that you're using a wireless device.

I have read through this discussion and it seams that the Big Sur issue is not yet resolve? I'm experiencing the following problems.
I have updated software to V10-7-0_r3288.
Cadmouse connected via dongle
Spacemouse connected via cable

Cadmouse pointer move around fast or unevenly jumps around. Left click does not work and I can not select any button anywhere on my Mac or in Vectorworks, basically I can not use the mouse at all.
Preferences menu is blank.

Spacemouse does not tilt or rotate in collage, viewer or puzzle. When using Spacemouse in Vectorworks tilt and rotate is not available and my model will disappear when trying any movement around with the mouse. I have to undo to get my model back into the workspace.

Is r3288 the latest update? What can I do to rectify the issues to make use of my 3D Commection mouses as this is rather frustrating not to be able to use the hardware on my Mac or in Vectorworks.

Cadmouse connected via dongle

A wireless CadMouse connected over dongle is not supported on macOS 11. Please review the information on the relevant FAQ page for the beta driver (there's a link in the top post of this thread).

We suggest using the device in Bluetooth on macOS 11. Note you can use your CadMouse connected with a cable to set up Bluetooth.

Preferences menu is blank.

This is unexpected. Can you please share your system's details?

Sorry - was not notified of reply.

Anything with command or control.

Example:
command+contol+m

In Fusion it opens a bunch of non related commands and screens.

I am not sure where my original reply to your question went, but....

any modifier "command" or "control" for example.

command+m
or
control+m
or
command+control+m

Understood. We'll be checking that scenario.

Looks like there is a new Beta available (3291)

[cjadams]

well. so far.. it runs.. which is good... modifiers seems to work in Mac Finder.. but still as of this version do not in zbrush.etc.
It would really be helpful if you guys would also update the 1st post last note on the is December release. ..could really use proper release notes from the devs as to what changed.

^ I agree.
