assigning CTRL to button number 2

[Righty]

Spacemouse Pro
Windows 8
Solidworks

Would like to program the "2" button to be "Ctrl"

When I select "Ctrl" or "Keystroke" + "Ctrl" the button appears to be programmed. But when i use the button in solidworks a context menu pops up and the Ctrl functionality does not work.

Any thoughts?

Hello Righty -

Your screenshot shows the OnScreen Display that opens with a long press of Buttons 1-4.

UtaSH mentioned in this thread the option to turn it off is not pesent in the current driver but there is a request to add in in a future version.

The current software uses Buttons 1-4 for press and release commands with press and hold mapped to the OnScreen Display.

Thanks for the info!

3Dconnexion, please please please add this functionality back into the driver.

There is no GUI support for this but you can edit your %APPDATA%/3Dconnexion/3dxware/cfg/global.xml file to disable the OnScreenDisplay.
It needs to look like this:

Code: Select all

<Global Default="false" xmlns="">
  <Settings>
    <LogLevel>0</LogLevel>
    <LEDsEnabled>true</LEDsEnabled>
	<OnScreenDisplayEnabled>false</OnScreenDisplayEnabled>
  </Settings>...
