Forum Post: Re: 3DConnexion SpaceMouse settings for MicroStation.

Hello Marc

Seems like a welcome development/

I think I have downloaded and installed it OK. A new Microstation V8i menu item in the app/configurations menu appears.

But I can't get the Microstation commands to work. I using Fit All, Rotate Top and so on mapped to the obvious buttons (F, T, R, L)

Rather annoyingly now the Fit All doesn't work when previously it did (I had managed to 'programme') that one in.

For the record, I'm using the Space Explorer USB and SS2, in 'Object Mode'.

I have just updated the Space Explorer driver to the latest version and that hasn't had any effect on that (though pleasingly it seems to have cured the glitch I was having where if ACS Plane Lock was ON, then the Tilt/Spin/Roll feature would get disabled. This is now not happening so can only put it down to the updated driver)

I've contacted 3D Connexion several times over the last 3 years or so about the lack of Microstation drivers and each time they palmed me off with a 'you need to speak to Bentley Systems. Though on the one hand do they have seemingly a valid point.

Couple other 'gripes'

It used to be (3 years ago??????), that when you fired up Microstation, and the SpaceExplorer was plugged in to your PC (via the USB), then the Space Explorer device would also activate. About 2 years ago this stopped happening and now you have to open up the Control Panel via the (Start Menu) Windows>Control Panels to get it to start up (the first time anyway)

I see that the Space Explorer Help file still makes now mention of Microstation, ..... but it does several other CAD apps!!! Though it is dated October 2010, ...... I'm assuming this gets updated with the driver updates, ......
