Driver - 3D Mouse - Version 2.3
The driver software is neccessary to work with the SpaceController. The software contains the driver as well as all necessary plugins.
Our software is compatible with all current Microsoft Windows versions.
Those are the 32bit as well as the 64bit version of Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Changelog SpaceController-Driver:
19 April 2012, Version 2.3.0
1.0 The SpaceController Panel's main dialog is slightly redesigned.
1.1 The most sliders in the SpaceController Panel's main dialog are displaced into the dialog Advanced Configuration.
1.2 New fields ORG, CAM and WFL in the display's status line are available. Attention: These fields will be displayed only with a firmware from version 2.141.141.130.0 on. Update your firmware if necessary.
1.3 There is a new button Video on all dialogs; pressing it opens your Internet browser and shows a short video explaining the dialog.
1.4 The cap's characteristic is changed from quadratic to cubic. In the configuration file "daemon.ini" you can choose between different cap functions with parameter "capCharacteristic"; the value 6 is the one of former versions.
1.5 Date and time will be displayed reliably again on the device's display.
1.6 Firmware update reworked.
1.7 The plug-ins for Solid Edge and Catia are significantly improved. See the change log there.
1.8 Plug-in for AutoCAD 2012 is delivered with the driver.
1.9 After returning from standby or hibernate mode the foreground application was not detected by itself and the configuration not loaded therefore.
1.10 While triggering a function with the WFL and nearly concurrent changing of the foreground application the configuration of the new foreground application could be lost.
1.11 The device functions LoadConfiguration_x can now be triggered by the WFL.´
1.12 Minor Bugfixes.
7 December 2011, Version 2.2.2
1.0 Converting the configuration files from version 2.0.0 to 2.2.1 caused a crash.
24 November 2011, Version 2.2.1
1.0 API functions scConnect() and scSetState() replaced by scConnect2() and scSetState2(). See the API documentation for details.
1.1 The built-in cube demo supports all move modes now (object mode, camera mode etc., see section Move Mode).
1.2 New device functions ToggleObjectCameraMode, ToggleScreenOriginRotation, ToggleLockHorizon, ToggleHover.
1.3 Recorded key sequences may consist of up to 42 key presses now.
1.4 The SpaceController keys may be recorded in macros and can be combined in this way.
1.5 The Display can show the SpaceController's device functions in German as well now.
1.6 If the driver is updated your own settings will be preserved now. This works for configuration files from driver version 2.0.0 on.
1.7 Autodesk 3ds Max is supported.
1.8 Minor Bugfixes.
15 July 2011, Version 2.1.2
1.0 The new Wheel Function Launcher allows you to trigger functions with the silver wheel too.
1.1 The Advanced Configuration dialog allows you to configure the device for using it with the right hand.
1.2 If the checkbox Restore Mouse Position is activated in the Advanced Configuration dialog the mouse pointer's position is restored not only when the cap is released, but also when the mouse pointer reaches the screen borders.
1.3 A second instance of an application has not been detected as foreground application, the cap data has been sent still to the first instance.
1.4 LEDs and LCD are switched off when the driver is stopped or the system goes down into standby or hibernate mode.
1.5 Moving the cap will stop the screensaver and prevent it to be activated.
1.6 Detection of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5 and creo as foreground application did not work reliably.
1.7 The user interface can be switched between English and German now.
1.8 New test mode for internal production tests implemented.
1 February 2011, Version 2.0.0
1.0 Driver and all plug-ins are combined in one big installation program.
1.1 Even if some instances of the same application are started, only the foreground application of this group will get data from the SpaceController.
1.2 Eventual graphics card driver problems do not prevent the SpaceController Panel from starting.
1.3 Internal changes due to a new compiler version.
5 October 2010, Version 1.4.3 beta
1.0 Displaying the foreground application's name in the device's LCD works again.
1.1 Firmware update routines rewritten.
1.2 Bug in writing configuration files fixed.
1.3 The function editor swallowed the next key event after pressing the Alt key.
1.4 When using a German Windows the German user manual is opened.
1.5 With most browsers the user manual opens reliably in the right section now when pushing the Help button in a dialog; unfortunately the Internet Explorer has a bug preventing this.
23 August 2010, Version 1.4.2
1.0 The user manual is available in German now.
1.1 A configuration file loaded by hand is displayed in the LCD now correctly.
1.2 A bug in starting the correct version of the plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER is fixed.
22 July 2010, Version 1.4.1
1.0 The driver is aware of our new AutoCAD plug-in.
1.1 Minor bug-fixes.
20 April 2010, Version 1.4.0
1.0 Occasionally the SpaceController Panel was not able to connect to the driver again if it was stopped and restarted.
1.1 German umlauts are allowed now in user function names.
1.2 Deleting of the users' configuration folders when deinstalling the driver works now also with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
1.3 The device's illumination can be switched off and on by pressing the "Ctrl" and "Panel" keys concurrently.
1.4 The rotation center can be adjusted within the Advanced Settings Dialog if supported by the CAD application.
1.5 Some further bug-fixes.
1.6 Attention: This version is not compatible with plug-ins prior to version 1.4.0.Older plug-ins must be run with drivers <= 1.3.0 beta (note: version 1.3.0 beta is an unpublished release).Configuration files created with driver versions less than 1.4.0 can not be loaded by versions 1.4.0 and greater due to some new parameters.
15 January 2010, Version 1.2.1
1.0 Functions with German umlauts could not be displayed on the SpaceController's display, in succession the device was a little noncompliant to update its content.
1.1 The SpaceController Panel closed itself occasionally when the device was plugged into the USB socket.Both bugs were built into the software in the course of the 64 bit modifications and are fixed now.
19 November 2009, Version 1.2.0
1.0 The driver is aware of 64 bit plug-ins now.
1.1 The process "dwm.exe" is ignored as foreground application. This invisible process is casually put into the foreground by Autodesk Inventor and caused a heavy bucking because the driver loaded another configuration then.
16 July 2009, Version 1.1.2
1.0 Support for SolidEdge added.
15 June 2009, Version 1.1.1
1.0 Some applications (e. g. Siemens NX®) were unable to execute the user functions recorded with the Function Editor described above. It works now.
1.1 The parameter "rememberLastCfg" in the daemon.ini file did not work properly.
1.2 Autodesk Inventor versions prior to Inventor 2008 will work without plug-in if the parameter "allowInventor" in the file "daemon.ini" is set to "on" (cap movement only, no mode detection, no integration of menu functions into the Key Configuration dialog). For Inventor 2009 and later this parameter must be set to "off".
1.3 There is nearly no delay any longer in object movement when changing a configuration.
1.4 Under certain conditions it could happen that sending data from the device after changing a configuration stopped, because the "Send Delay" parameter in the Advanced Settings dialog switched to 405 ms (= data sending off). This is fixed.
1.5 Minor bug-fixes.
5 April 2009, Version 1.1.0
1.0 After a power resume it could happen that the driver must be restarted to work properly again. This is fixed.
1.1 Minor bug-fixes.
17 March 2009, Version 1.0.1
1.0 First published release.
