Model moves/jumps at random

Model moves/jumps at random

Model moves/jumps at random

(OP)
During a Catia or Delmia session my model moves/jumps around at random w/o interaction from the user. The jumps are not seveve but if you sit and watch it you can see it bouncing around or gradually moving. I'm not sure if it is related to the Spacball 5000 or the mouse.  

I'm on V5R13SP2.  Any suggestions on how to investigate?

Thanks....

Hi,

Do you have the same problem if you unplug the spaceball ?

Resetting the SpaceBall seems to stop this behavior.

Thanks...

Does this happen as the spaceball warms or cools?  Temp variation might be the problem causing your model to slowly drift around your screen.
