3DConnexion Spacemouse

[[Br...]]

Is anyone else clamoring for Spacemouse drivers on GOM Inspect Pro and ZRE? This would be a huge help in my day-to-day operations. I have spoken to a couple of people at Zeiss about this, with no "official" ticket submitted. I was wondering how many others in the community are anxiously awaiting this resolution, and if there were any moderators that could speak to the development of drivers.

I use a 3DCONNEXION SpaceExplorer and it works fine.  Not sure why the Spacemouse models wouldn't be supported.

The space mouse speed is not controllable at all in GOM, no adjustments available, and it is super sensitive. Other programs, such as Rhino and SolidWorks are compatible, and the speed is variable while using on those two software packages. Using it with GOM Vol Insp Pro is difficult, while using it with the ZRE software is impossible, as the slightest touch of the mouse sends the model into oblivion.

If I press the "panel" on my 3DCONNEXION SpaceExplorer while the GOM software has the focus, I get several options to adjust the 3D mouse Properties in the Software (or "menu" button) such as "Speed" -> did you try that?

Hi Karin, thanks for this, will look into on my end, appreciate the suggestions and link.

This did not work on my end, the mouse is still very sensitive, barely usable, would like to be able to actually utilize the settings to control the speed. 3DConnexion says Zeiss has to reach out to work with them to develop a working solution.

I have a related issue in that I want to switch the zoom direction from forwards/backwards to up/down. When I check this option, nothing changes. Zeiss Inspect is supposed to be supported in 3Dconnexion products.

I can corroborate this issue, the reverse does not work for me either. I am stoked that the Spacemouse is actually usable with Zeiss Inspect.

Bought a new 3Dconnexion Space mouse, now I cannot get this to work at all in ZRE. It works fine in SolidWorks, and in the 3DConnexion viewer, and it seems to recognize the ZRE software (as seen in the pic). Any ideas on this from the group?

Hi Everyone,

 

My name is Maciej and I work at 3Dconnexion. Earlier this year, I noticed this issue on the ZEISS forum, and we were able to fix it. After installing the latest 3Dconnexion driver, you should be able to reverse the movement and rotation axes as well as adjust the movement speed. We have implemented these changes for ZEISS INSPECT and ZEISS CALYPSO. I hope your experience with our devices will now be even better

 

Best regards
Maciej Fornal
