3dConnexion Space Mouse Pro

Well I've had this space mouse pro for a while now and can't seem to get the hang of it. With my regular mouse the model spins or rotates on a center axis. It seems the space mouse moves the camera around the outside instead of rotating the model. Am I missing something or is this just the way the space mouse works? Thanks!

It has been a while since I have used mine, but if my memory serves me well, I am pretty sure you can change the mouse axis / rotation options in the software that come with the mouse.

I have really good luck with mine, use it all the time.

I ve attach a screen picture.

This is how mine is setup.

When you go to adjust the settings be sure it shows "Softplan " at the top left. If not your not adjusting the setting for Softplan but for what ever it says there

So you have to have Softplan open, and I can't remember but click on Softplan screen or something, can't remember but the "Softplan has to be up there in the left top.

The way I have the settings for me, The Camera is stationary and I'm moving the model around, seems most comfortable for me.

I believe if you uncheck all the reverse, it will make the model stationary and the camera moves about.

Hit softplan lightning bolt and it goes faster

So it appears there are "navigation modes" that are an advanced option for certain applications. I am assuming that Softplan doesn't support those options. No matter what I do the camera is moving around the model whereas I was attempting to spin the model like we can do with the middle button/wheel on the mouse. Thank you for your responses!

I see the "Softplan" emblem is not up in the lefthand top of the settings window. Maybe part of the problem.

Maybe that is an old settings program.   Maybe one of those navigation modes need to change.

Is that the Advanced setting windows.         I remember a time or 2 seeing that menu your showing, but then found the one I'm showing.

Maybe not having the Softplan emblem up there is not giving you the right window like mine.

Seems like if you have the 3d window open and the softplan open, and you click up at top of the softplan screen, it turns softplan on at the top left of the 3d setting, advanced setting?

I copied that out of the manual. The softplan emblem shows on my system but those navigation options are not shown on my menu. That's why I'm assuming that they are not supported by softplan.

I think it is supported, not sure, You just got to figure out how to tweek it.

I'd call 3D Conn.

I called them once they were very responsive.      Wouldn't  think mine would work and yours wouldn't.      

Dennis, don't know if your still on this, But I do see that ,that application specific screen you put in post doesn't say Softplan up in the left top.

It is looking at the 3d connexion veiwer, which could be a problem.

I downloaded a new driver, and got my stuff messed up, and was having trouble finding the window that shows the screen to reverse the setting etc.

I left the first thing there at Reciever, and needed to select the "spacemouse wireless" to get the correct choices.

I feel like the directions they give you make you have to guess what to do.

Thanks Fred, I will check it out. FYI the screenshot I posted was not from my system. It was taken from the manual. I was trying to show that I didn't have those options to choose from on my system under softplan.

I sent this to someone else who was having problems, and he said that got him going
