My CadMan is Obsolete
My CadMan is Obsolete
(OP)
Well here I was all excited, just received SW2008 in the mail and much to my disappointment they have dropped support for my beloved CadMan. I guess it was bound to come sometime why now? I did find out that 3DConnexion was offering 25% off new controllers. They don't mention any of the spaceball products. Are they still available, just not discounted? Anybody want to buy a couple Cadmans? ha, ha,

Bummer on your loss.

Try the following:
Load up the 2.8.2 version of the driver software on your computer.
Then what you want to do is to get the 3.4.2 version of the driver software and only load the SolidWorks plug-in. Do not load the base 3Dconnexion driver software. Only load the SW plug-in.
This will likely get you going with SW 2008 and your serial spaceball.
