3Dconnexion 3DX-700040 SpaceMouse Pro 3D Mouse

If you're looking at this product you're a serious CAD user, so I'll be blunt; get this 3D mouse and you'll be extremely happy. There is a learning curve and you need to train your left hand, but once you configure the mouse to maneuver the product the way you visualize it in your mind, this becomes an extension of yourself into the computer. The software from 3D Connexion is simple and powerful. You can change direction and speed of every axis, including which axis on the nub zooms (pulling the nub in the +/-Z or the +/- Y). The 5 buttons on top are fully customizable for every screen in your CAD software. I've used this with Solid Works and Inventor (both run flawlessly) and the software recognizes each program, recognizes the mode I'm in (sketch, part, assembly, drawing, etc) and runs that specific button layout. (For example, when making a drawing Button1 is my Smart Dimension shortcut, but when I'm in assembly mode, Button1 automatically switches to my constraint shortcut. You'll have to specify in the 3D Connexion program what button you wish to do what, but the software has made that incredibly easy.) Once you get the mouse set up and get used to it, it's amazing how much more efficient you become at your workstation. All of the most used keys are on this unit (Esc, Enter, Tab, Alt) and are activated by your pinky. There are view modifiers on the thumb spot. This product has been designed by people who use it every day, and it shows. This product is fairly expensive, but I view it as a tool. I would have no problem buying a quality set of power tools if it made my life easier, so I don't see a problem purchasing this to make my desk life more efficient and enjoyable. Its an investment, it's made extremely well, and if you don't abuse it it will work for many years to come. Bottom line: If you are serious about your CAD performance invest in one of these products and become the envy of your coworkers.

Difficult to start with

Mi esposo lo compró para realizar renders en AutoCAD y otros programas, dice que se ahorra tiempo en realizar planos. Lo recomienda ampliamente.

以前コンパクトタイプを購入したのですが、動かすと微妙に向きが変わってしまい、モデルの回転に支障をきたし結構ストレスで手放しました。それでもCADマウスでは難しい視点移動やモデルチェックも楽に行えたのがよかったので購入しました。パームレストで押さえるので機器も安定してますし上方向が身体で認識できるのが良いです。ボタンは沢山付いていますしカスタマイズも自由ですがプロパティメニュー呼び出しボタンは変更せずに使うとソフトと微調整して行くとき便利です。硬くなくフニャフニャでもなく押しやすいです。 使ってるプリンタより高いですが買ってよかったです。

I am happy with this mouse product.its really helpful to design my 3d PCB Design Best regards Attarde vikas
