Moving from XP to Win7x64, SW Button Mappings Can't Import

Post by ageary »

Greetings,

I cannot seem to import SpacePilot Pro button mappings for Solidworks from my old workstation.

I recently had the honor of being one of the first at my company to have his computer upgraded from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. Knowing this was coming, I backed up all my work and settings, and made sure to export my Solidworks button mappings for my SpacePilot Pro. Using the Solidworks 3DControl menu, I exported the .3DxSW file to my network and attempted to import it into my new version of Solidworks/3DxWare. Upon importing, no errors are given, but all of the button mappings become completely blank, with nothing mapped to them.

I had been using an older version of 3DxWare from last year on my WinXP machine, while I am now using release 3.13.0, driver 6.13.0. After digging through my old downloaded files, I believe I had been using the isntaller 3DxSoftware32SPP_v3-12-2_r1029 on my WinXP machine.

Is there anything I can do to recover my mappings? I knew those buttons by touch, rather than by sight, so I'm having a really hard time setting them up again.

Hello ageary,

unfortunately the export and import only works between machines where the same version of the addin is installed.
