Space Navigator not working correctly with Altium??
« on: April 17, 2022, 03:42:06 pm »
Hi,
I have 2D Connextion's Space Navigator and all movements work correctly in Solidworks but when not Altium.

In Altium no matter how I move the Space Navigator, the only motion is scrolling the PCB up/down or left/right. There That is both in 2D and 3D. The rotation, panning etc do not worl.

Does it need special setup or configuration? Any suggestions?

Thank you :)

Mine works perfectly in Altium (and in Inventor etc), I did nothing special to make it work?!

Each application has its own settings that you can set up using the advanced settings in the properties dialog.

Of course, if you really got yours from 2D Connexions, then that might explain the missing dimensions  ;D

I found the navigator driver needs to be re-installed. For whatever reasons with time it starts working incorrectly in Altium. Re-installing the driver fixed the issue in my case.
