3D mouse now works in 2D drawings

For @Anonymous @ctcalvert94 @Anonymous @keqingsong @benguestN73BB @matthew.maclennan @witr @mxwrench @aalsing @wrrichards  @klose9S5AB @dsouzasujay , and anyone else interested in using their 3D mouse in Fusion 360's 2D drawings mode:

 

I've set up 3DxWare configuration files for the Spacemouse to send panning and zooming navigation commands to Fusion 360's 2D drawing mode using 2D mouse emulation. It's not a perfect solution, but it's a lot better than using just a regular mouse.

 

These config files are brand new, and have only been tested on Win10 x64. There may be bugs. Please have a look at the Readme.md before installation. That said, feel free to download and test them here:

Thanks to jwick on the 3D Connexion blog, without whom this would not have been possible. For more info on how we got here, see: https://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=39216

 

Feedback and comments are most welcome!

These config files are now updated for the latest 3DxWare driver 10.6.5. Other than the known issues described in the readme these are working well on Win10 x64. 

 

Downloads are available here: https://github.com/jgroeli/F360-3DMouseIn2DDrawings/releases

 

If anyone sees any other issues, please let us know.

Thanks!

That's great, thanks!

 

Will test these tonight when I'm at my desktop!

After using this for a while it seemed to me that it'd be more intuitive to have the axis mappings match more closely to the other modeling workspaces, so I've created an updated release to implement that. Zooming is now mapped to the Y axis, and panning up and down is mapped to the Z axis.

 

Here's a link to the updated release:

https://github.com/jgroeli/F360-3DMouseIn2DDrawings/releases/tag/v0.1.2

 

As always, let me know if you have any issues with it.

 

Thanks!

Thank you for your effort, Julian.

 

I tried on Win 10 x64. It doesn't work. I tried Both versions. Stopped 3DXware, Stopped Fusion, copied all the files, started 3DXware and ran F360.

 

No change.

 

An yes, You could rotate in sketch mode before some update.
