SpaceMouse issues with Fusion - loses axes

Hi there, over the last month or so I've noticed some bugs that have cropped up between Fusion 360 and my 3dConnexion Spacemouse Pro.

The first one of these started happening about a month ago; when I press the "rotation lock" button to restrict it to 2D panning/zooming (eg. to make it easier when editing a 2D sketch), this ends up being a sticky selection and no longer toggles 2D/3D rotation on and off. To get 3D translation back, I have to go into the 3DConnexion control panel and manually re-enable the axes that get disabled by the button.

Now just recently I seem to randomly lose translation up/down in the Z axis (pulling up and down on the puck). In the 3Dconnexion control panel this translation still shows as enabled despite not working! I need to restart Fusion 360 to get these axes back.

I'm running 3DXware 10.6.3 and Fusion 360 2.0.7046 on Windows 10 x64.

Try updating to 10.6.4 drivers and let me know how it goes.

Unfortunately the update to 3DXware 10.6.4 doesn't help. My next try is to try a clean re-install (using the Fusion 360 super duper cleaner tool - forgot its proper name) and uninstalling the 3DXware drivers and a restart.

I've fixed the problem (once a clean reinstall of Fusion 360 and reinstalling the 3Dxware drivers didn't do it)

Turns out the preferences of 3DXware were corrupt somehow. I selected "Reset all settings" from the menu in the 3dConnexion preferences dialog, and re-established my hotkeys etc., and now all works as normal.

I probably could have solved it without doing the reinstall...

For the benefit of others who might encounter this issue-- this solution worked for me but I had to perform the settings reset while Fusion 360 window was active. I tried it the first time without Fusion360 open and I noticed it reset my mouse tracking speed so I had to go back to my system settings to fix my mouse. Second time, I had Fusion360 open while doing the reset and it worked. No reinstall was necessary.

Have you tried the new drivers from 3Dconnexion + the new preview preference? See post 76 here for details.
