Some 3Dconnexion buttons stopped working

Serengeti (Rhino WIP) Mac
,
1

Some time in the last 2 -3 weeks, [ don’t know exactly when as I was traveling without the device]
certain buttons on the space mouse Enterprise stopped working in the WIP and I can’t figure out why…? [these are the view buttons and they still work fine in other applications ! ]

So I have 6 states that stopped working [all the isometric views] the button for perspective still works, as well as all the other buttons assigned to various rhino commands.

I tested the macros and the shortcuts in rhino directly and they all works fine.
I double checked the macros and buttons assignment in the 3Dx Pref. and it all as it should…

I’m asking here first as the problem appeared only in Rhino. [I’ll try to ask in 3DX forum as well]

thanks a lot

Those devices have never been 100% compatible with Rhino, hence not all of the buttons on the super fancy devices would work with Rhino.

However, unistalling and fresh-installing latest driver software usually fixes the most complicated issues.

Believe it or not but ‘comic particles’ (neutrinos) cause more computer problems than ppl realize – usually some of the most mysterious ones.

So to close this.
The problem was with an update to the WIP that wiped out all customization a few weeks ago…

With much help from @dan and TimeMachine it was possible to get back the lost settings.
But one thing that didn’t get restored was the settings in the 3DConnexion panel.
the settings there [one mapped button] got wiped out… Still the strange [and confusing] thing was that most of the 3DConnexion Enterprise buttons still worked with the assigned Rhino commands, and only 8 buttons stopped working…

Would it be please possible to add the 3DConnexion panel setting to the ‘Export Preference’

thanks a lot
