Post by ershovdz »

Hello,

I've tried to add UI section in the cfg.xml file:

<UI>
<AdvancedSettings>
<Tabs>
<Tab>
<Section>
<Name>STR_NAVIGATION_MODES</Name>
<RadioGroup ID="NavigationMode">
<RadioButton ID="ObjectMode">
<Name>STR_OBJECT_MODE</Name>
</RadioButton>
<RadioButton ID="CameraMode">
<Name>STR_CAMERA_MODE</Name>
</RadioButton>
<RadioButton ID="TargetCameraMode">
<Name>STR_TARGET_CAMERA_MODE</Name>
</RadioButton>
<DefaultValue>TargetCameraMode</DefaultValue>
</RadioGroup>
<CheckBox ID="LockHorizon">
<Name>STR_LOCK_HORIZON</Name>
<DefaultValue>true</DefaultValue>
</CheckBox>
</Section>
</Tab>
<Tab>
<Section>
<Name>STR_ROTATION_CENTER</Name>
<CheckBox ID="AutoPivot">
<Name>STR_AUTO_PIVOT</Name>
<DefaultValue>true</DefaultValue>
</CheckBox>
<CheckBox ID="SelectionFollower">
<Name>STR_USE_SELECTED_ITEM</Name>
<DefaultValue>true</DefaultValue>
</CheckBox>
<RadioGroup ID="PivotVisibility">
<RadioButton ID="ShowPivot">
<Name>STR_ALWAYS_SHOW</Name>
</RadioButton>
<RadioButton ID="ShowMovingPivot">
<Name>STR_SHOW_ON_MOTION</Name>
</RadioButton>
<RadioButton ID="HidePivot">
<Name>STR_HIDE</Name>
</RadioButton>
<DefaultValue>ShowPivot</DefaultValue>
</RadioGroup>
</Section>
<Section>
<Name>STR_OTHER_OPTIONS</Name>
<CheckBox ID="SuspendInput">
<Name>STR_PAUSE_MOTION</Name>
<DefaultValue>false</DefaultValue>
</CheckBox>
</Section>
</Tab>
</Tabs>
</AdvancedSettings>
</UI>

But it does not work. How to do that ?

The first thing to check is whether your cfg is actually being used. Check the systray icon hover and the log file.

I've double checked it. My xml file is used. I've tried to do the same thing with s3dm_viewer.exe demo application. I've used xml cfg from sui_viewer.exe demo. And the same result.

Hi,

I do have the same issue. I copied the same "advancedsetting" sections from the existing xml files in the:
"C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg\"

but the "Advanced Settings" window doesn't show the new tabs.

My file is being used and my 3dxService.log does not show any issue. I removed all the 3dconnexion folders in the AppData/Roaming/3Dconnexion/ and AppData/Local/3Dconnexion/ and closed my driver and restarted it.

Is there a new way to solve this?

Thanks
