### Editing the 3DxWare Configuration File

1. Start the PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner (previously known as Inspection Planner) application.

2. Open the 3Dconnexion Control Panel by double-clicking the 3DxWare symbol located on your system tray.
   3Dconnexion Control Panel

   1. See if the Configuration for drop-down list contains an entry for something like “WAI Applications”.

   2. If “WAI Applications” is available, then select it as the current configuration and follow the information in the topic "Assigning PC-DMIS Functions to buttons on the SpaceMouse or SpaceBall". Otherwise, continue with this procedure.

   3. If "WAI Applications" is not available and you only see "Any Application", select File | Save As and save the name of the “Any Application” configuration to "My PC-DMIS", "PC-DMIS Planner", WAI Applications", or whatever you like. This configuration will be used by PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner to define the rotation speed, etc settings. This describes how to map PC-DMIS functionality to your motion pointer's buttons in the "Assigning PC-DMIS Functions to buttons on the SpaceMouse or SpaceBall" topic.

   4. Close the 3Dconnexion Control Panel.

3. Close your PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner application.

4. If you use a Windows XP operating system, access Windows Explorer and navigate to this directory, where MyAccount refers to your user account on the computer:

   C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\Application Data\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles

5. If you are use a Windows Vista operating system, access Windows Explorer and navigate to this directory, where MyAccount refers to your user on the computer:

   C:\Users\ MyAccount\AppData\Roaming\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\profiles

6. Using a text editor (such as Microsoft's WordPad or Notepad), edit the most recent “user??.scg” file (for example, user00.scg).

   1. In the “[IDENTIFICATION]” section of this file, verify this is the file you just saved by comparing the “APPLICATION_NAME” to what you entered in step 2c above. Note that a comma might be preceded by a backslash (\).

   [IDENTIFICATION]

   APPLICATION_NAME = "My PC-DMIS\, PC-DMIS Planner"

7. In the “[CONFIGURATION]” section, edit the “APP_CONTROLS_BUTTONS” and “EXECUTABLES” values to enable them for use with either the PC-DMIS or PC-DMIS Planner executable.

   [CONFIGURATION]

   APP_CONTROLS_BUTTONS = TRUE

   EXECUTABLES = { "PCDLRN.exe", "InspectionPlanner.exe" }

8. As you can see, the above “EXECUTABLES” indicates that this configuration file will be used by both PC-DMIS and PC-DMIS Planner.

9. Save and close the file.

10. You can now map PC-DMIS functionality to your device's buttons by following the information located in these topics:

- "Available PC-DMIS Functions for SpaceMouse, SpaceBall, SpacePilot"

- "Assigning PC-DMIS Functions to buttons on the SpaceMouse or SpaceBall"
