The SpaceMouse gives me a deeper design understanding because I can avoid the unnecessary navigation usually required using traditional input devices. I primarily enjoy that it provides an intuitive, fluid, fun-to-use navigation experience. What are some of your favorite features of the SpaceMouse? Essentially, it makes users faster, helps them work more comfortably, and lets them enjoy 3D Navigation. This flow frees up their other hand to work on design features. This connection is achieved, in part, by enabling users to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate their 3D View as if they were holding the object in their hand. The SpaceMouse is a six degrees of freedom (6DoF) input device that allows designers and engineers to improve their efficiency and speed by creating a natural connection between designers/engineers and 3D content.

What is a SpaceMouse, how does it work, and why should designers and engineers use one? We spoke with 3Dconnexion’s Jason Rodriguez, who worked closely on this project to learn more about this exciting integration.

We took your feedback, worked with our partners at 3Dconnexion, improved the preview, and made this production experience better and more seamless than ever.* This is excellent news for anyone who currently uses a SpaceMouse or who has been interested in trying one - this is your sign to give it a go! And if you aren’t familiar with what a SpaceMouse is, read on to learn about how they improve your CAD workflow. To learn more, we had a conversation with 3Dconnexion‘s Jason Rodriguez.
