After rotating or moving my part keeps moving

Postby cncmike » Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:45 am

Hello everyone!

I am sure this answer is somewhere on the Forum but I did a search and could not find what I am looking for.

when I rotate or move my part on the screen with my SpacePilot.

I have only been using this for a little while and cannot seem to get it to stop after i let off of the puck.

I'm sure this is a easy question for most of you.

Thanks for any help you can provide me with

Hello cncmike -

You can also use Calibrate in 3Dconnexion Properties. If the Space Pilot is not correctly calibrated, the small stream of data sent to an application it tries to return to center can cause unwanted movement or drifting onscreen.

When you press Calibrate, make sure your Space Pilot is on a flat surface and nothing is touching the cap. You will not see an on-screen confirmation that the process has taken place, but it does re-zero the sensors.

Fantastic Barabara,

I had been having similar difficulties, and was going to start a post to ask you all for help but don't need to now - your answer really helped.

Many thanks,

Barry

I've been using space pilots for 7 years, I have this problem now with the reinstall of my computer this week.
What happens is there is some sort of 'dalay' after moving an object on screen, and occasionly it keeps going.

I've updated graphics drivers, tried various 3d connexion drivers, program settings, different usb ports on the computer
(most of which are usb 3.0) and calibrating the space pilot too.
Nothing seems to help.

Anyone come across this problem?

Thanks.
Harley

Dear Harley,

What application are you using?
What Operating System?
Which release of 3DxSoftware do you have installed?
It could be your graphics or you may just be in need of a new device.
Can you borrow a second device to test with?

Sincerely,
Bryan
