Is that the button popup you mean ? The popup menu with Rotate | Pan Zoom | Customize Buttons. This internal editor has priority over the 3Dconnexion Properties - Customize buttons - all button changes need to be done in the internal editor to be correctly saved to your profile. This opens the internal button editor with application commands. One of the items in the popup menu for both Creo and SolidWorks is 'Customize buttons'. On the Button Configuration tab you should see 'Popup' or 'Application popup' mapped to those buttons after restoring defaults.

To return to the default mapping you can use 3Dconnexion Properties - Options - Restore all Defaults.

The popup menu is mapped to the Spacemouse Pro MENU button and to the left button on the SpaceMouse Wireless in the default Creo and SolidWorks profiles.

With the 3DxSoftware driver both Creo and SolidWorks have a popup menu.

Please add this in a future release so that I can use the 3d mouse with full functionality. While the 3dxsoftware driver does allow for the configuration that I want, it would be great to add the button popup feature. Suggestions to change the way you work are not really acceptable. I understand that the configuration provided with the 3dxware driver may be more in line with other uses, but as a professional CAD user, I can fully attest that it is not a matter of personal preference to change to the new configuration. I uninstalled it and am running the 3dxsoftware driver (that I use with my Spacemouse pro), but this loses the popups associated with the LH and RH buttons. The change in functionality of the rotation control is really not acceptable in the 3dxware driver. I use a Spacemouse Pro on my workstation, and just purchased a Spacemouse wireless for my notebook. I am a PTC Creo user as well as a Solidworks user. I would just like to comment on this issue as well. Is there a way I can reconfigure the axes / rotation settings properly? But I can't go down the road of using one if the axes are not set up properly. I've been thinking it might be nice to get the big one with all of the extra hotkeys, etc. I want to love this thing, buy one for my office, one to keep in my laptop bag, etc., but for now, I can’t even use it. Otherwise, I unfortunately have a device that I cannot use.

(In my robotics-design life, I’d tell the software guy, “You accidentally swapped the Yaw and Roll joints – swap them please and I’d be happy as a clam").ģD Connexion: I hope there is an easy way to reconfigure the axes to work properly. I will say the motion feels extremely elegant / smooth, etc. In his software, when he toggles the Zoom direction to be “Up/Down”, his axes are all re-oriented properly (which leads me to believe there is an error in the solidworks interface to the 3D mouse). NOTE: A very good friend of mine uses the cad program Alibre. I have attached several images depicting the situation below. My excitement quickly fizzled when I realized toggling this setting provides yet an even more strange configuration which appears to be an error.

I was temporarily overjoyed to see an option the change the zoom direction to “up down”. So, immediately, things are extremely awkward in Solidworks. Out of the box, the orientation of the spacemouse axes are in direct conflict with the orientation of the axes of the standard mouse. I would like to use my standard mouse in my right hand, and the spacemouse in my left hand. However, I have been pretty disappointed in the mapping of the axes of the mouse in relation to:ī) the axes / rotations relative to themselves when the Zoom direction of “Up/Down” is selected. I am very interested in incorporating the 3D Connexion wireless spacemouse into my daily life in Solidworks. I'm thinking maybe this location is more visited / more appropriate. I initially posted this in the Feedback forum.
