SpaceMouse Plus

Can anyone tell me how to program a button on my spacemouse plus to
issue a command that would duplicate selecting the "Iso View" button on
the vew selection toolbar. Is it just me or did someone forget to give
3DConnexions a list of SolidWorks commands for the default SW addin?
There is a preprogrammed selection for every Inventor command and
Inventor should not be better than SolidWorks.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Andrew,

OK (for Daisy) I'll assume that it's the same for the Space Traveler.
In SolidWorks on the 3DConnexion toolbar click on "Show Mapping Panel"
(the one that looks like a slice of bread).
On the scroll bar on the left scroll down to Standard Views, double
click the hammer, choose the view that you want,(Isometric in this case)
and drag it over to your preferred button.

HTH,

Muggs,

Thanks for the feedback, funny thing though. The button mapping menu
that comes up when I hit the 3DConnexions icon in my quick launch
toolbar does not agree with the mapping that I arrange using the tool
in the SolidWorks environment. The spacemouse obides to the mapping
that comes up from my quick launch, not the one edited in SW. There
does not seem to be a tool that allows you to save the configuration
after changes have been made.

Andrew,

The buttons are application specific. My #4 button is different in SW
(Dimetric) than in MasterCam.
