Two items of concern

Two items of concern

Two items of concern

(OP)
I have a spaceball 4000 FLX, run 200i2 on a windows os. I have 1 yr of experience on Pro. First concern: Will pro ever stay as large as I stretch the window to edge of my screen? There is a gap between where the menu manager stops and the edge of my screen is. I would like them to line up to get as much graphics window as possible. Second concern: The spaceball. It wont work basically. The only time it will work is if my Mouse cursor is outside of pro all togther, like on the desktop portion under the menu manager. I have installed the proe portion of the spaceball software. I have also tried to locate a newer driver and newer software for the pro, but with no such luck. Any help or ideas of words of wisdom, would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Two items of concern

Hi,
I might be able to help you with your first question.
In the your config.pro file you can adjust the default size of the window. Unfortunately though, the maximum setting (1) won't cover the entire monitor viewing area. What I did to work around this, was to record a mapkey that set the window size to my preference. When ever I start Pro/E, I simply hit "@S" (in my case) and each new window adjusts to suit my monitor.

Good luck
