3Dconnexion SpaceMouse Compact 3DX-700059 3D Mouse,black

Product Information

This frees your other hand to simultaneously utilize a standard mouse to select, create and edit models with ease. Using 3Dconnexion’s Universal Receiver, CAD professionals can expect the reliability of responsiveness of a wired product. I do a lot of work without it… I can use my mouse with the 3D mouse, or with just the touchpad… the fastest, most productive method, though, includes the 3D mouse, for sure. As said… everyone is different… I will say that it does take some time to get used to… once I got used to it, though, I will say that I am far quicker when I am using it. While the on-screen display provides a convenient visual reminder of the commands assigned to the intelligent function keys on the computer screen, helping maintain focus.

This controller cap has a 6-degrees-of-freedom sensor that can detect input as small as 4 micrometres. Correction: after playing around a bit more, it seems the mode is correct but at least one of the axis is inverted as opposed to Rhino 7.

Yes, using the 3Dconnexion driver, you can set both to behave the same way and probably the defaults are the same. Then I took the plunge and I immediately notice if I am not able to reach for it and have it work straightaway. Thanks to its high capacity Li-Ion battery, you can work mobile for up to one month without charging. Just like all new tools it takes a while to “natively” master, but once I reached this threshold I never use SU without it. Now, I haven’t used it yet so I can’t really recommend it, but I’m going to see what I can do with a wiimote and nunchuck.

Its awesome for sculpting, useless for “classic” modelling IMO (unfortunately) and I am not sculpting that much, so sadly its catching dust mostly. That cornerstone of a PC system is the most important part of the PC system as concerns what’s in the chassis, which might surprise you, but it’s definitely the devices you use to interact with a PC which are absolutely top dog.It is also the best thing for reading PDF files because you can pan and zoom easily because it locks onto the page you are reading.

This two handed workflow is ergonomic and efficient and the CadMouse also has helpful features to simplify your work in CAD applications.I use a SpaceMouse with Onshape, and this happens to me occasionally, and it usually ends up being some combination of 3dConnexion driver/browser needing updates. I often use a stylus and onscreen keyboard with just ctrl and shift on the two buttons of a spacemouse, very appropriate for vertex tools and subd to name a few tools. Your other hand is now free to simultaneously use your standard mouse to select, create or edit your model.
