3d Mice Bring Advanced Navigation

Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice enable design engineers to move in all three dimensions simultaneously with six degrees of freedom to navigate advanced functions in the Solid Edge application environment more intuitively.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into the 3D design workflow, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice offer Solid Edge users a range of advanced navigation features and design benefits, including:

  • Seamless transition between Object and Camera modes for a streamlined design experience 
  • Accessibility to essential 3D functions and tasks with one-touch access using the programmable buttons on the SpacePilot™ and SpaceExplorer™  for critical functions and speed keys
  • Precise control of a rotation point or rotation axis, by selecting a Reference Plane, Face, Edge or Vertex/Point for the rotation point, and a Reference Plane, Linear segment or Vertex/Point for the rotation axis
  • Quickly zoom into specific sections of the model with Zoom-to-Cursor by positioning the cursor on an area of the design

Additional highlights regarding availability and support include:

  • 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice are supported by Siemens Solid Edge with synchronous technology on Windows® XP (32-bit and 64-bit) and Vista® (32-bit and 64-bit).
  • SpaceNavigator™ Personal Edition (MSRP $59), SpaceNavigator Standard Edition (MSRP $99), SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP $129), SpaceExplorer (MSRP $299), and SpacePilot (MSRP $399) are available from major online resellers, including Amazon, Buy.com, CDW, Dell, and PC Mall, as well as directly at www.3Dconnexion.com.
  • 3Dconnexion provides advanced and affordable 3D mice that are supported by more than 130 of today’s leading and powerful 3D applications. For a complete list of applications supported by 3Dconnexion, visit: www.3dconnexion.com/solutions/cad/all_sup_app.php.
