Spacepilot NX5 Application Mapping

[NXdesigner]

Does anyone have any experience/success getting the Spacepilot to switch button mappings when switching application inside NX5. My understanding is that this is possible, but I am unable to find a way to get it setup.

Thanks,

Do you have the NX plugin installed? If so, the button mapping should switch, as you change applications. It does for me anyway, with NX5. Then just go to the different applications, and setup the buttons.

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Dave,

Switched application to drafting from modeling and changed button mappings (button 1 set to "Modeling"). Switched back to modeling and still had "Modeling" set to button 1.

Which version of the driver are you running?

Thanks,

I'm using driver version 3.5.6

I just went to drafting, and mapped button #6 to "Modeling". When I switch to Modeling, the button changes to "Redo". One thing I did notice though, when in drafting, if I hit button #6, it does not put me into Modeling. The screen on the SpacePilot goes to modeling, and then back to the drafting settings, and the NX session never changes.

The latest available driver is up to 3.6.4 I think that I'm running 3.6.3 at present. The drivers come with plug-ins for various applications including NX. I would expect that the latest drivers support the latest versions of NX better than the older ones. I know that I'm not having trouble with button mapping, although I tend to set them and test that they work then use them less seldom than I might.
