Spacemouse Enterprise Screen Icons (and MBP Touchbar icons)

Any chance this stuff will happen soon? Guessing it's not high on the priority list, but as next generation CAD, this "next generation" functionality integration would be great for those of us that employ these tools Smiley Happy

We are aware, this will require for us to implement the 3Dconnexion SDK. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Phil. Any plans for that to happen in the near / far future?

Not currently.

 

Implementing it would mean that any Fusion command can be mapped to a 3Dconnexion button. However, a much more popular request, and harder to achieve, would be mapping Fusion commands to keyboard buttons. So we are not sure how to implement one without the other, and both require a lot of resources together.

 

The other issue is fixing the current limitations of 3Dconnexion on Windows OS. Currently this is the #1 problem and focus of 3DConnexion support on our end. We are waiting for new drivers from them to help with this. So even at the soonest, we are talking months. 

 

Sorry I don't have better answers at this time.

 

Thanks,

Are there some news about it?

What is the actual progress? Is Fusion now supported with the spacemouse Enterprise?

thanks

Any update on this? would love to have the same kind of integration as 3DS Max has (command lookup integration with fusion, lcd screen button hookup, etc)

@spark__wire Yes there is an update!

 

I'm sorry I thought I found all the 3Dconnexion related posts about this. 

 

For Windows* there is a new 3Dconnexion experience in Fusion 360.

  • Constrained orbit
  • Full command support for custom buttons

 

Here's how to enable it:

1. Install the latest 3Dconnexion drivers

2. Start Fusion, open Preferences > Preview

3. Tick Spacemouse (windows only)

4. Restart Fusion 360

For constrained orbit (Lock Horizon)

1. Open 3Dconnexion properties

2. Go to Advanced settings

3. Enable Lock Horizon**

* macOS support is in development

** known issue: currently, changing the view cube "up" direction will not set a new horizon for Lock Horizon

 

Let us know how you like it!
