3D Connexion SpaceMouse - Not working

Member Posts: 3 ✭
I can't seem to get the SpaceMouse to work in OnShape. It works in Bambu Studio, Orca Slicer, and Fusion 360. It also works in the demo software.
It does NOT work in Cura Slicer, right out the box, but I don't use that, so it's not a big deal.
3DxMacCore version 1.3.7.529 (529)
3DxWare version 10.8.7 (3836)
And Oddly: SpaceMouse Wireless - Firmware 0.00
Firmware is version 0.00?
I'm using Arc Browser, Version 1.94.0 (62506). (Built on Chromium Engine Version 136.0.7103.93)
MacOS 15.4.1 (24E263) (I do see via this page that Mac OS 15 isn't supported, neither is 14… Not sure when this page was last updated.)
This is confusing, because it works in Bambu Studio and Fusion360. So I'm assuming it has something to do with forwarding the mouse outputs to the web browser?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure why, but every so often I need to restart the 3dxNLServer to get mine working with Onshape again. To do that I
Kind of annoying, but It also goes really quick.
If that fails a full computer restart seems to help.

….and for Windows, the process is similar:
As Evan said, it's annoying, but quick.

If it doesn't work at all, (as opposed to only gitch now and then), raising suspicoins against the browser appears justified. While all the other apps run locally, Onshape runs in the browser, so there might be yet another interface layer involved, that needs to be active and forwarding the space mouse input. Some super-secure browsers might keep a lid on that until specified otherwise by the user. Have you tried another browser to check that out?
