Serial Spacemouse with Solidworks 2011 ? Anyone had any luck ?
Serial Spacemouse with Solidworks 2011 ? Anyone had any luck ?
(OP)
I picked up a Serial Space Mouse Plus from Ebay a month back, and have just come to try and install it but with no luck !
Does anyone out there use one / know how to get it to work with Solidworks 2011 - or as it is a bit old now, is it no use.
The website for 3Dconnexion says they do not support it anymore. But I belive that it may still be possible to get this to work ?
Thanks
Ian

Serial ports were obsoleted about 2-3 years ago when using it with SW, not sure about other software.

I have attached a link to v2.8.2 which I believe is the last to support serial devices. as far as I know serial to usb convertors won't work...
I think that if you install this driver, you can install the later programs over the top to get the latest functionality...
Hope this helps,
Cliff

Not sure if the above will work on Windows 7 systems.
