Freecad, 3Dconnexion input devices

Hello.
The program Freecad claims to support 3Dconnexion input devices.

It does.

After hours of fiddling around with it I got it to work.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … kmm/files/
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libspnav/

I would like to write more about it later, but for now I have to mess with it . . . .

IT IS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

You should consider adding this information and any other relevant instruction to the wiki, here it will not get much visibility and will eventually be buried under newer posts.

Re: Freecad, 3Dconnexion input devices

Yes, that is what I would like to do, pending finding time to.  Also I've never edited or added to the wiki before, I would need to learn how to do that.  I also would like to learn how to make, upload, and maintain AUR packages.
