Solidworks, Cadman (3DCONNEXION) and Excel
Solidworks, Cadman (3DCONNEXION) and Excel
(OP)
I'm becoming annoyed with my Cadman motion controller when I'm working with design tables in Solidworks.
I always 'edit table in new window' which loads excel and my design tables in, you guessed it, a new window. When I close that app and it starts to apply the changes, the mapping window for the Cadman comes up EVERY time.
I have no idea how to fix this, I'm running the current drivers and I'm doing nothing unusual with Solidworks/Excel.
I realize this is probably a Solidworks/3DConnexion tech support problem, but we all know how helpful those folks are.
Any ideas?

But since all the Tech support guys suck in all areas, I guess you are just SOL.

RE: Solidworks, Cadman (3DCONNEXION) and Excel
From the begining of your post your not professional about it. I'm sorry you have had a bad experience with the Tech support. But that doesn't mean you can group as all together. Maybe you are rude from the get go about a problem and that;s why your expereinces with support have not been the greatest. I don't know, but you should think about what you are going to post before you post it.
However if you would have read the post more throughly you would have notice that I mentioned that the problem is in the drivers and 3DConnexion and SW needs to be made aware. If you have done that already and they can reproduce it then you need to find away to prove it to them... try making a SW RX of the issue then sending that in. That will doing nothing but help you and everyone involved.
But since you pay no attention to the facts that I placed out there for you, I was obvisously no help.

RE: Solidworks, Cadman (3DCONNEXION) and Excel
I think somehow their was a button programmed using the same action to close a drawing in SW as opening the Mapping Panel.

Not that it matters but...
Even though mfshaddow did not personally attack anyone here, he was personally attacked.
RE: Solidworks, Cadman (3DCONNEXION) and Excel
There are probably some lazy people out there that do support, but I put 110% into my job to make the customers happy and I do the same out here when I am able to get out here.
The personal attacks came after his reply.
To me that was a bit of a personal attack, however that is my opinion and you guys have yours. Not attacking you in any way here smcadman. Just pointing out where I think you are a little wrong.
Thanks for the feedback to this issue, it's helpful. Hopefully that will answer his question.
