Aah, I need to get out more, obviously. Have we hi-jacked this thread?

@Box But there are so many .exe's. All gobbledygook to me, that is why I am so impressed with Liam's approch. (BTW: I'm on 2019, just curious about AI)

@Box Must have missed the .exe. I did look

Golly gosh.

@L-i-am That is interesting Liam. How involved is it to get AI to do the job?

I finally solved it!
It was a dodgy plugin/extension. I don't know which one, but luckily it wasn't one of the ones I use constantly. I probly had 50 old plugins from years ago that I've never used.

This only became clear when the Space Mouse in the trial version of SU24 stopped working after I had loaded a few Bundles of Extensions. So I did a clean re-install of SU24 and loaded my necessary plugins one by one. I stopped when I had everything I needed and all was good. Then back to SU19, I used the Extension Manager in SU to uninstall everything except the proven ones in SU24 and bingo, all is as it should be.

Note: Rich's suggestion of a 'Vanilla" install, (see above), did not work in my case, though I don't see why it wouldn't.

Cheers and Happy New Year to you all.

@Box 3D Connection support had me doing that about 4 times. Still waiting to hear back on the latest round of 'Fixes'. Will be next year I expect. But having fun with SU24.

@Rich-O-Brien Yes it works in the SU24 trial. So decision-decision...

@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich. Tried the plugin rename and made a new plugin folder with just the Space mouse stuff. Rebooted and all. No joy.
I estimate I have spent about 15 hours on this now.
3dConnection support have had me doing everything apart from taking the back off the PC!

Just about ready to give up on this
.
I was going to bite the bullet and subscribe to SU23 just to have the S/Mouse working, but I notice a lot of people still having trouble with getting it to work.

Hope you have a good hols.
Cheers

@Box LOL. Merry Christmas.

In my twenty years with this Forum, I don't think I have ever had a post not responded to, even if it's just "RTFM"

Have I posted this in the wrong discussion? Or is it insoluble?

I am still trying to trace the problem with support but nothing works
.
However this appears in the Ruby console window with this query...

load “3dxSketchup.rb”

Error: #<NameError: undefined local variable or method “3dxSketchup' for main:Object> <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

Does anyone know what that means? Anybody?

PS: I have just tried the same install on my W/shop PC, which has very similar specs to the Studio PC. Exactly the same result, which I think rules out user or machine error.

I cannot get my new spacemouse to work in Su. (Works fine in Autodesk Fusion, but zoom in/out only in SU)
I have been going back and forth with 3DConnection support for days now and we cant find the problem. (Numerous configs, uninstalls, re-installs, driver roll-backs etc etc).
The 3Dx plugin does appear in the Extension Manager but only after this load error appears on startup, Be much appreciated if anybody could explain it?
Cheers Baz.

@L-i-am Totally agree with removing the car, but perhaps a human or two in the lounge space?

Hi Box. Hope you are well. See my reply to Rich. All done, hopefully. Cheers Baz

Hey thanks Rich. I had no idea such a service existed.
Just signed up, got my address and then ordered the Shaper.
So, done deal. Fingers crossed.
Baz

I am very keen to get hold of a Shaper Origin. (See link below).
For some obscure reason they are unwilling to ship to Australia.

So If ordered one and had it sent to a USA address, would anyone be willing to send it on to me? It would be a simple matter of re-addressing and paying the freight, no re-packing required.
Of course I would cover all costs.

And it's a lot of money for me, so ideally it would be a forum member that I have had interactions with over the years. (I started with V5 and joined this forum about 20 years ago!)

Is this a crazy idea?

I am pretty much retired but I still spend most of my time in the studio.
I have always been a tech-head as well as a traditional woodworker, but until the Shaper turned up, CNC has always been out of my reach.

I would have a lot of fun with this piece of kit. (Currently, I am just beginning a Teardrop camper for a client, with mostly boat building techniques).

Cheers, Baz.

PS: I can only afford a refurbished unit, which is only available in the States.
PPS: I am fully aware of the difference in Voltages, that wont be a problem.
