Sketch Mode inverts / messes up 3D-mouse settings / view model

[ckriesi]

I'm using Fusion 360 on Windows 7 and a basic 3D Connexion space mouse. As soon as I click on "create sketch", the mouse gets partially inverted (rotation left/right is inverted) and I can't pan the model anymore. This behaviour does not stop, even if I leave sketching mode. The only thing that fixes it is restarting Fusion, or in other words: Fusion 360 is completely useless with a 3D mouse right now. 

Any idea what could be the issue?

Thanks.

Hi @ckriesi

Thanks for posting! I don't have my Spacemouse on me today, but I will test this out tomorrow and report back.

We often see these issues with outdated 3D Connexion drivers - are you certain you are using the most recent version for your hardware?

I checked just after posting - the 3D connexion driver was indeed one version behind. I couldn't try with the updated drivers though, I'll give it a shot tomorrow and see if it fixed it.

thanks,

Hi @ckriesi

Thanks again for posting! I tested this on my end and experienced no difference with the Spacemouse between sketch and model mode, so this seems likely to be related to the out-of-date drivers. Please let me know if the update helps!

Yep I just gave it a quick test with the newest drivers - everything went smooth, which is nice. Let's see if it continues this way. If it occurs again I'll make sure to first update all the drivers.

Thanks!

PS: I'm impressed by the fast support!

Hi there. I'm having the same issue on Mac OS. Downloaded latest drivers from 3D Connexion. I am using the original space mouse, with a USB-A wired interface. That device has just fallen off the support list... so maybe that's it.. but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution. The space mouse works great in the normal 3D environment... but as soon as you enter a sketch... it gets inverted, commands change.

Hi,

1. Please show the effect in a screencast

2. The latest drivers are not always the best.
For many users, the  driver setting (preferences) "Legacy" is the better choice.
