SpaceMouse not working in WIP

Hi All 3DConnexion users- This week’s Rhino BETA contains a number of fixes for 3DConnexion users (especially on Windows) that we’d like your help testing. Switching from the “legacy” plugin to the updated plugin should now work. This can be toggled in Settings/Options > Advanced > Rhino.Options.SpaceBall.UseLegacy.

The SpaceMouse command is in the 3DConnexion 3D Mouse plugin (3DXRhino.rhp), not 3DxRhino.9.rhp, and only works in spaceball legacy mode, not the new beta mode.

You can toggle between legacy and beta modes in advanced options:

Yes, that’s correct. With 3DxRhino.9.rhp, the newer plugin, the intent is for the 3DConnexion driver to control the settings.
