Navigating with a 3D Mouse

[Windows® version]

You can use 3Dconnexion® 3D Mouse models to navigate 2D or 3D drawings.

Move the cap of the 3D mouse to push, pull, twist, or tilt to simultaneously pan and zoom the drawing, and rotate the model:

Zoom / Pan			Rotate

Zoom	Pan left/right	Pan up/down	Tilt	Spin	Roll

Increase pressure to the cap to move faster or decrease pressure to move slower.

When in the layout workspace on a Sheet, the navigation options are restricted to pan and zoom.

Make sure to have the 3D mouse connected to your PC before you start the program. The driver for the 3D mouse installs automatically when you connect the device to your computer.

When the 3D mouse is ready to use, a menu named 3D Mouse appears in the menu bar to control the behavior of the 3D mouse in the drawing.

The menu lets you:

turn on and off the use for panning and zooming the view of the drawing
turn on and off the use for rotating the model
activate the Dominant Mode; if activated, this filters all motion except for data coming from the axis that is actuated the most
adjust the velocity of the movements with the 3D mouse cap

The menu also lets you adjust the usage of a 3D mouse:

3DMouseOptions lets you specify navigation settings
3DMouseButtons lets you assign commands to buttons of the 3D mouse
