Spacemouse compatibility with Azure VDI environment

Post by Romain »

Hi there,

I'm not finding any official information about the compatibility of using Spacemouse (compact in my case) on Azure VDI environment.

I've already tried to install drivers on both environment but the spacemouse is not detected. It can only zoom in and out when I try to use it in Solidworks.

On local computer it works well, but no on Azure VDI.

Do you have any recommendations ?

Thanks

Romain

I'm not 100% on Azure VDI, but a few years ago McLaren used VDI and we had space mouse over network.
I know that in corporate RDP environments it is often necessary to add users to groups in order to be able to forward space mouse commands.
Worth speaking to IT and asking them if you need adding to a profile for 3DXware to work on Azure VDI

Please refer to the official Microsoft article for Remote setups such as with Azure VDI: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure ... al-desktop
