Latest Update Broke SpaceMouse?

:100:

I’ve been using 3D mouses ever since I first began discovering all the cool 3D modeling programs the world had to offer, way back in 2004.

Once I discovered 3D mouses, I bought my first space ball 5000 for $500 lol that’s how much I needed to have one back then.

Good thing 3D mouses are more affordable these days, and there’s a few more options.

But there’s only one other brand to choose from other than that Logitech spin off company.

I wish there were more competitors in that market, and I dream of a day when 3D mouses are plug and play like 2D mouses. :sweat_smile:

You guys are doing better than I am currently - I get this error every time I boot up my machine:

And now, when I open up the 3dconnexion Settings, I can’t even access the Rhino settings - it just always shows Windows Explorer, no matter what. I tried uninstalling the software and re-installing, no luck, same behavior. I put in an email to 3dconnexion support, but no word back yet…

There’s a weird thing upon fresh install where you have to unplug the device before install.

Idk if that’s causing it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that error before.

Maybe use ‘Adnanced Uninstaller Pro’ to get rid of more data. And maybe run CCleaner or something to clean your registry…

@lander 2004, wow! I was born in 2005! You’ve been in it for the long haul!

@sgreenawalt Oof that’s ruff. I would try calling them… I had some keys fall of one of their keyboards and sent them an email… No response. But we called them a month or two later and they were very helpful. Never got a response to that email.

speaking of the devil, oh look I just did an update and pallets got wiped, and the command prompt too.

This basically happens every time per update. So annoying.

ikr lol. I’m still waiting for Rhino to fillet like parasolid does…

at least we got subD’s ! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Lol! Thats true, I don’t do a ton of complex filleting since I do timber. You know though, at least they haven’t succumbed to Annual licenses! Gota love Rhino :+1: :grinning:

Do you mind explaining how do you save the settings ?
I can’t see anywhere to do that? in their options,
On Mac here, and the 3Dconnexion options are much more limited…
[I seem to vaguely remember something about digging for a certain file somewhere deep in the system…?]

thanks a lot

I’m on my works PC at the moment, I’m pretty sure the same can be done on Mac too (I have my own MBP), see screenshot

Thanks a lot.
Unfortunately these settings does not exist for Mac
[did some reading…]
The options for Mac are very limited in the 3Dc Pref.
One need to save a backup of these files:

With the hope that the ones you remembered to save were current…

(rant)
Plus, there’s no rhino 3Dc plugin for the Mac, which is a shame.
Other apps have equal options between platforms for 3Dconnexion [I’ve tried in Blender, Fusion360, and Zbrush]
In Zbrush for example, the driver [even on Mac comes fully configured, with good default settings, for all the nearly 40 buttons options on the Enterprise device ].

The newest update gave me some headaches. So I come back to version 10.7.3. It works well for me. I use this fantastic 3D mouse for Rhino & Revit. So sad, the software team is not commensurate with the hardware team.
