I got a SpacePilot Pro, used to be used on Autodesk Inventor on WIndows. Now I'm on Linux Mint (Ubuntu fork) and I would love to be able to use it with Freecad.
Below is what I did :
- At first glance I chose to install the proprietary driver from 3DConnexion and it worked flawlessly. Using provided test binaries, I gto the mouse recognized and working
- I realized then Freecad supported spacenavd driver. So I followed the Ubuntu part of https://wiki.freecadweb.org/3Dconnexion_input_devices which is very simple (APT package installation only)
So what should I do to make FreeCAD recognize my mouse? Should I start the proprietary driver along with the open-source one (it's unclear around this point) ?
Any enlightments will be deeply appreciated.
Cheers,
Nicolas
