If you cannot see the Addin for the 3D mouse in CAMWorks/SolidWorks, try the following, go to the installation folder of the SolidWorks add-in (normally, this is "C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3Dconnexion Add-In for SolidWorks") and drag-and-drop the "TDxSW.dll" file in CamWorks (or use File - Open to load the same file). For Camworks/Solidworks Click tools Addins select 3dcontrol. If 3dcontrol is not available. Go to File open- select all file types. Browse to and select the TDxSW.dll this will launch the plugin. If you donot see the above file run a repair of the 3dx driver make sure no applications are running in the background.


Please let me know if this helps. Gerald@AmeriCAMCorp.com

Jerry's notes below:
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxSolidworks
Copy the file "TDxSW.dll", supplied by 3DConnexion, to the directory:
C:\Program Files\CamworksSolids 2008\CamworksSolids 2008\Solidworks


The following run command is used to register the .dll file.
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3Dconnexion 3DxSoftware\3DxSolidWorks\TDxSW.dll"
