as you move between applications for unified navigation. Gone are the days when 3D navigation meant endless mouse clicks
to move around an object or
to fly through space and remembering
how to change views and
control objects within the X, Y, Z axes...one tedious step at a time. Plus, it is no longer necessary
to remember different application's unique commands for manipulating 3D objects or scenes. Using SpaceExplorer together with a mouse engages both your hands in a natural, intuitive work style. One hand drives the SpaceExplorer, positioning your model, then rotating, panning and zooming in one single, fluid motion. Your mouse hand can simultaneously edit the model or select menu items. The SpaceExplorer button array includes two numbered buttons for programmability of the user's favorite application commands, plus keys for Speed, Views, 2D only, Fit,
Control Panel and keyboard modifiers. This enables you
to master any supported 3D application without having
to leave the device
to reach for the keyboard. SpaceExplorer's software automatically recognizes the
programs already loaded on your computer-such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, Solid Edge, UGS NX, and a host of other CAD and DCC applications-and
installs default configurations that predefine the functions assigned
to programmable buttons. 3Dconnexion's Configuration Wizard is an interactive tool that uses animation and imagery
to guide you through
controller cap movement and configuring your preferences. The Configuration Wizard also provides demonstration applications so you can practice or start using the device right away. Plus, your 3DxSoftware will never be out of date, because 3Dconnexion's Update Wizard keeps you up-to-date on the latest OS and application versions and new features.
