SpaceNavigator not working with multiple maya versions

Post by chuckie7413 »

I have multiple versions of maya installed on my machine for various production reasons. (8.5, 2008, 2009)

However when installing the Navigator software it only installed the plugins for the latest maya version (2009) and not the others.

So I then tried to manually install the plugins for each maya version, copying the files found in the 3dconnexion installed folders into their appropriate maya folders, but the plugins fails to load for both 2008 and 8.5.

The plugin however works fine 2009?

Any ideas?

This would be a real problem if the SpaceNavigator doesnt work with all my verisons of maya.

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

Do you have all 3Dconnexion Maya-Plug-ins installed? Do you see the Plug-ins for version 8.5 and 2008 under
Start->Programs->3Dconnexion?
If these PlugIns were initially not installed you can re-run the installer and mark them for installation:

Code: Select all

A) Re-run the latest 3DxSoftware installer
B) Select "Modify"
C) Ensure the Maya-Plug-ins are selected
D)  Click Next
Did this help?
