Simulating a Spacemouse

Hello, I search for an option to simulate a Spacemouse in Autodesk Inventor with my own programm.

The background is that I create my own 3D Navigator. The receiving Informations are no problem but I can't send this informations further to Inventor.
Use the Keyboard-Keys or (normal) Mouse orders is no problem, but they are not comfortable as a smooth 3D navigation.
So can anyone help me, I am grateful for any help.
Or is the only way to create an own Plugin in Inventor Autodesk?

You would need to contact Autodesk and get something like a "Developers Kit" for Inventor. This would be much the same way the companies such as 3dConnexion would develop their code and drivers. Not wanting to sound like a "stick in the mud" but time is money. Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper just to buy a SpaceMouse, other than you don't have the satisfaction of saying you developed your own code.

I have already a SpaceMouse. This project is for my hobby. But thank you, it led me in the right direction.
