SpacePilot Pro

The Ultimate Professional 3D Mouse

Navigation features

3Dconnexion 6DoF Technology

The key to SpacePilot Pro's smooth and intuitive 3D navigation is the patented six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor. With four times the precision of previous sensors it can detect input as small as 4 micrometers (that's about 1/25 of a human hair!).

 

3Dconnexion Cap

Simply push, pull, twist or tilt the 3Dconnexion Cap to pan, zoom and rotate. It's like reaching into the screen and holding the model in your hand. This unparalleled level of control encourages model exploration leading to improvements in error detection and design quality.

QuickView Navigation Keys

The second generation QuickView Navigation Keys extend the power of the controller cap by providing one-touch access to 32 standard views enabling users to instantly view models from any angle for improved error detection, design review and design presentation.

 

Standard Views

Three buttons enable you to select each side of your model (six views)

 

Two Isometric Views

ISO1 shows the model with the top/front/right sides facing front. ISO2 shows the model with the top/back/left sides facing front.

 

90-Degree Rotation Key

A short press rotates the view by 90 degrees clockwise. A long press rotates the view by 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

 

Navigation Setting Keys

During the course of developing 3D models, designers may want to restrict navigation to certain planes or axis. For example, when creating 2D sketches of 3D profiles, it is useful to be able to pan and zoom but not rotate the view. The SpacePilot Pro navigation setting keys allow users to personalize how the controller cap works by restricting navigation to certain axis. The status of each navigation settings key is displayed in the LCD Function Key Applet.

 

Dominant key
Dominant mode filters out all motion except for data coming from the axis that is being actuated the most.

 

Pan and zoom key
Turn off translation motion along the three primary axes so the model can only be rotated.

 

Rotation key
By turning rotation off, users can focus on smooth, simultaneous pan-and-zoom navigation only. This is ideal for work modes such as sketching or for quickly inspecting standard views of your model.

 

Speed Key
Adjusting the SpacePilot Pro navigation speed, changes the amount of force or torque that needs to be applied to the controller to move a model or environment. Lower the speed for detailed, close-up work and increase the speed for design reviews and presentations.
