Hello.
The 3Dconnexion web site indicates that their 3D mouse should work in ViaCAD. Has anyone actually been able to make it work, and did you have to do anything special in order to do so?
Thank you!

I believe there were some early versions that did not recognize the driver. Also, it is not present in App Store builds because of apple sandboxing.

What product and build version do you have?

Thank you Tim. I just upgraded from 8 to 9, so it is the latest version just downloaded from their web site a couple of days ago...

Just realised something! The 3Dconnexion web site specifically lists ViaCAD 2D/3D in their software compatibility list, and I have ViaCAD Pro.

Is it possible that the driver would be present in teh 2D/3D version and not in the Pro version, when the only difference between the two is supposidly the enabling of some additional modelling features?
