Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The customer expects that the 3Dconnexion driver be started
  automatically when the CATIA V5 session is started.
  This is an enhancement to the current design.
  However, from CATIA V5R21GA level onwards, it is not
  necessary to start the driver in order to use a 3Dconnexion
  device because the code required has been integrated in CATIA.
