How to synchronize 3DxWare settings between multiple machines (Windows)
It is possible to synchronize your 3DxWare (Driver) settings between multiple machines using a Cloud drive. This works as follows:
- Make sure that you have administrative permissions.
- Stop the 3DxWare Driver (Start->3Dconnexion->Stop 3DxWare)
- Move the „Cfg“ folder containing your 3DxWare settings to your cloud drive (e.g., D:\Cloud\3Dxconf\). You can find the „Cfg“ folder by entering %APPDATA%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare in the Windows search and confirming with Enter.
- Create a new symbolic link to the new (synchronized) folder using the command line.
-
- Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) with elevated (administrative) permissions
- Type:
mklink /D „%APPDATA%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg“ „ D:\Cloud\3Dxconf\Cfg„
Where „D:\Cloud\3Dxconf\Cfg“ is the location, you chose in Step 3.
5. On the second machine delete the %APPDATA%\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\Cfg folder and link to the same synchronized folder as before in step 4.
6. Start 3DxWare again (Start->3Dconnexion->Start 3DxWare).
