OptimumK request

Post by marco.giangolini »

Hi everyone!
I'm the leader of the vehicle division of UniBo Motorsport, the FSae Team of the University of Bologna.
We're using 3dconnexion SpaceExplorer mouse with Autodesk Inventor 2012, and it's awesome how that speeds up our work!
But also we use OptimumK (from OptimumG) for the kinematic of our car, and we want to know if there's the possibility that in the near future you are going to support this software.

Thank you so much!

Dear marco.giangolini,

The driver for our input devices is included in our 3DxSoftware Suite. Most programs make use of this in their applications. A few applications do also make use of a special plug-in, due to a number of different reasons, mostly to make commands available in their application to button mappings.

We provide a free SDK, Software Development Kit, for developers to make it as easy as possible to include use of our input devices in their user interfaces. We welcome and encourage application developers to take advantage of the input from our devices to enhance their user interfaces.

If you know of, or can imagine ways to use our input devices that would be beneficial in the application, we encourage you to let that application's developers or their marketing department know of this added value. Encourage them to make the changes in their next development cycle that you would find valuable.

The developers of OptimumG would need to decide to include use of our devices in their OptimumK application. They hold the source code. Our devices are not something we can force on their software. We have found that developers normally respond best from requests for their own users. So let them know how valuable these features would be to you.

Sincerely,
Bryan
