Drivers and AutoCad 2005

Post by khoov »

I have been using a Space Ball for many years. I am now having issues that the new drivers do not support Acad v 2005. I found an older version of the 3dx driver in my history files. Upon installation the driver loads but the toolbar menu unloads immediately.

I would appreciate and suggestions
Regards

Download the Pre 2007 plugin located in the archive folder on our download site.

I have downloaded and installed plugin per your direction. When I start Autocad the following commands are processed:

Regenerating model.
AutoCAD menu utilities loaded.
Command: _appload
[3Dconnexion] 1999 - 2006 3Dconnexion Inc. All rights reserved.
[3Dconnexion] 3Dconnexion Add-In for AutoCAD V3.2.8 (R16)
[3Dconnexion] SpaceBall 5000 attached!
[3Dconnexion] New Rotation Center: (+6270.365811, +1145.527330, +0.000000)
acad3dx16.arx successfully loaded.
Command: '3DX_MOTION
Command: _menuload
Menu loaded successfully. MENUGROUP: ACAD3DX
Command: _.menuunload
Enter the name of a MENUGROUP to unload:ACAD3DX
Menu unloaded successfully. MENUGROUP: ACAD3DX
Command:


Upon AutoCAD startup the driver loads but the toolbar menu unloads immediately. I have tried to load manually, but get the same unload sequence.

I guess it would be ok if I could set the regen to auto without the toolbar. Is there another way to set the regen?

Uninstall pre-2007 add-in and then delete all remaining acad3dx.* and mgl3darx.*, especially acad3dx.mnl and mgl3darx.mnl, under AutoCAD 2005 installation folder including the sub-folders. Then install the newly downloaded version again.
