Hey fellow NXers,
I have both NX7.5 and NX9 on my computer and I use them both. With my job, I can use NX7.5 on a new project. But, if I need to use any of my customer's files, then it's NX9. My main bark with NX9 is that NX9 drafting is SO slow that I want to avoid NX9 whenever possible.
So anyway, after installing NX9, my Spaceball 5000 lost most of its functions except zoon/rotate/pan/etc, so it's time to upgrade. Yeah, I know SB5000 is an OLD product, so no flames, please. But it still worked and I need two 3D controllers for my job, so why upgrade.
I recently bought a new SpaceMouse Pro and installed 3DXware 10. That all went ok with no installation errors.
When I run NX9, the SpaceMouse Pro works fine- all the buttons work with their default function and it's all good. I don't remember if I tried to customize the buttons.
However, when I run NX7.5, then problems arise. When I first launch NX7.5, I get some type of xxx.dll error, but NX7.5 opens the model ok (I think). I can manipulate the CAD model with the joystick knob just fine, IF I don't touch the other buttons. But, I cannot successfully customize any of the buttons, and I if push one of the canned view buttons, then the model rotation is locked out.
So, in the meantime, I reloaded my old software and am running the SpaceBall 5000. With the old software, I do not get the NX7.5 xxx.dll error. And, the SB5000 is working as before.
Does anyone have some ideas where to look? The .dll driver error is probably telling me something. I can reload 3DXware 10 again and take a screen shot of the error, if that will help.
Thanks in advance for help.
