Invalid File Found
Hello,
First time user of SpaceMouse. This happens whenever I go into the mouse Properties dialog for a new application that has never been configured for SpaceMouse. I goto Advanced Settings, and make a property change, like check a checkbox, and I immediately get a popup error message:
"Invalid File Found
{InvalidFileName} is invalid in 17.6.4. XML document must have a top level element."
This only happens once, since I suspect no .xml file has yet been created for this application.
Is this normal behavior? Because, as a new user, it seems unusual to me.
Using:
3DxWare 10 for Windows (64-bit)
10.6.4

Re: Invalid File Found
Hi gibson1,
does the file in that location exist? I assume that the location mentioned in the error message is C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg ?
Do you have an XML file with that name in your folder %APPDATA%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg ?
Do you get the error message each time you start the driver (= when you log in)? Or each time you start AutoDesk Moldflow?

Re: Invalid File Found
Whenever I get that error message, I have no .xml files with that particular name in my roaming application folder.
But, they do get created afterwards, so no issues there. The message doesn't appear anywhere else.
I was just wondering, as this seems to be verbose debugging information that perhaps somebody forgot to turn off.

Re: Invalid File Found
Hi gibson1,
is the path to the XML file in your error message pointing to your AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\... folder or to C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg?

Re: Invalid File Found
All .xml files are created in my roaming application folder, such as:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\3DxTest.xml
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\3DxTest.xml
Re: Invalid File Found
There's also a .xml file of the same name in the Program Files folder too:
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg\3DxTest.xml
But, the two .xml files contain different data, and are different file sizes, so they're not the same.
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore64\Cfg\3DxTest.xml

Re: Invalid File Found
And if I delete the .xml file in the roaming appdata folder, I can recreate the "Invalid File Found" system tray popup error message again.

Hi gibson1,
thanks for the detailed information. We are tracking this issue with our internal bug number WIN-568. I will come back to you when I have new information.

I have the same error. Also when setting speed for a "new" application. Again every time I have rebooted my system.

Re: Invalid File Found
I might have solved it. Setting 3Dconnection Properties to "Run as Administrator" seems to help.
Re: Invalid File Found
Hi I3art,
if you run the driver with admin privileges you very likely get in trouble when using it with your CAD applications.
I suggest you remove the existing settings to have a "clean" installation. Then you shouldn't see these errors anymore. See here how to remove existing user-specific settings.

Re: Invalid File Found
I ran into that message when trying to edit %appdata%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg\AdobeReader.xml. When I saved the file in notepad++, the notification came up in Windows 10, and the xml file disappeared!
I reset my settings as Uta described above, installed 10.6.5, ran notepad++ in admin mode. Don't know if those last two were necessary, but I wanted one-shot-one-kill, and it worked.
By the way, the reason I was editing my Adobe Reader configuration is that I've noticed that all I want is smooth vertical scrolling like I get with PDF docs in Google Chrome, using the mouse wheel emulation Rx axis. Up/down (Z) is much more awkward for doc scrolling.
I turned off all axes in 3DxWare (while Adobe Reader was the active app) except Rx, then changed the output of Rx to Z in the xml file:

Re: Invalid File Found
I added the left-right scrolling action, too:
Code: Select all
<Axis>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Input>
<ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_Ry</ActionID>
<Min>-512</Min>
<Max>511</Max>
</Input>
<Output>
<ActionID>HIDMultiAxis_X</ActionID>
</Output>
</Axis>
