SpaceMouse and Fusion Drawings

Problem I just ran into:

Working on model file. I make a drawing of the part so I can print it out and mock-up my design.

Go back into the model file to make some edits. My SpaceMouse isn't working right. Press the Menu button on the SpaceMouse and it tells me that I'm still working in Fusion Drawing Console. Close out the drawing and SpaceMouse returns to normal functionality

Hi Seth

Currently its isn't supported to use the Space Mouse in the drawing environment and there are some known issues with it. Its on the Idea Station as a request if you'd like to go give it a vote however.

Let me clarify;

I was not in the Drawings Tab. I was in my Model tab. Both files were open at the same time. Fusion did not release control from the Drawing Console. Take note of my image above. The Drawing is not the active document
I'm not looking for the SapceMouse to have functionality in the Drawing Console. I'm just looking to get my mouse back so I can go back into the modeling environment and make edits to the design, pop back over to Drawings and update the file

Hi @LibertyMachine

Thanks for reaching out. I tested this with my SpaceNavigator and did not receive the same behavior you did - when I switched back to the model file, the Spacemouse worked as I would expect it to. I've shown this in the screencast below.

I did update my 3D Connexion drivers this morning, so it may be worth checking yours.

We'll ask around and see if we can find a wireless pro to test with and reach out with any new information - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Yeah.....good ol' driver update. I didn't update that long ago, didn't think to check if it was current. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction
