I purchased a used spaceball, version 3003. How would I get this to work with Solidworks 2005?
Thank You

Go to

and download the driver for your OS and the SWX plugin. When both are installed, in SWX go to Tools > Addins and enable 3DControl. Then go to View > Toolbar and open the 3DControl toolbar, which you can use to configure the Spaceball buttons and motion controls.

It seems they just have one (very large) driver that does all these days.. just to keep things simple I guess.

You're right, all 3 Windows OSs use the same driver. I never noticed that.
I've got one. Been using it for a long time. The drivers have kept getting better.

I have a Spaceball 3003 I bought for a song on eBay. Haven't figure
out how to get it operational yet. I went to 3Dconexion for th driver and they say they stopped supporting the 3003 model in Marc
2004. The most recent driver they wrote for it was for Win98 an they don't offer that. They say the 3003 spaceball won't operat with the driver they supply now I've seen a Win98 driver and a Linux driver elsewhere on the internet but that won't help. I D/L'd the '98 driver. Its an .exe file an it won't run in a 32 bit OSI'm using a 3003 on XP with SW 2004 through 2006. No problems.
