SpaceMouse Pro only works on 1 axis at a time

I have a SpaceMouse Pro at my workstation. The SpaceMouse Pro used to work really well with SW, very smooth and precise operation. A few weeks ago I recieved a new PC with a new install of SolidWorks. Now whenever I use the SpaceMouse I can only manipulate 1 axis at a time with the SpaceMouse (i.e. X or Y or Z or one of the rotation axes.) I used to be able to manipulate all 6 axes at once. This functionality still works in Solid Edge, and with the tech demos, it's only with SW that I run into the issue.

 

Solutions I've tried:

 

-Installing a different version of SW (I've gotten the same results with 2014 version and 2015 version)

-Upgrading my mouse drivers

Correct Answer

Amit,

  You probably have the "Dominant" box checked in the SolidWorks Advanced settings screen for the mouse driver.  Uncheck it and see if that fixes it for you.
