Microsoft Utility Software

MicroScribe Utility Software 5.0 is a companion program for Immersion MicroScribe Desktop Digitizing Systems. It allows the MicroScribe to be used for 2D or 3D data acquisition within programs that do not provide native support for this.

This stand-alone application runs simultaneously with other Windows programs. Instead of manually typing in point data, use MicroScribe Utility Software to record XYZ coordinates from the MicroScribe by emulating keyboard input. Compatible Windows (98, NT, 2000, ME and XP) programs can then capture these emulated keystrokes where 3D point data is entered.

MicroScribe Utility Software supports:

AutoCAD
AutoCAD Mechanical
CADKEY
Excel
Inventor
Mastercam
Mechanical Desktop
Notepad
Pro/ENGINEER
Softimage|XSI
Studio Tools
SURFCAM
Word

If your application supports command line or dialog entry of 3D coordinates, this free utility might already work or can be easily made to work with your application. If you would like your application to be supported by MicroScribe Utility Software, please contact us. MicroScribe Utility Software offers a way of interfacing your application to the MicroScribe™ with little or no change to your application.
