3Dconnexions full line of 3D mice, including the new SpacePilot PRO flagship 3D mouse, is now supported by Dassault Systèmes CATIA Version 5 Release 19 SP4. 3Dconnexion 3D mice enhance the design power and expanded featureset offered in CATIA V5R19 SP4, the leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution, allowing for greater productivity throughout the design process.
3Dconnexions 3D mice offer CATIA users a more streamlined design process, increased comfort and performance benefits. Highlights include:
• Increased control and more intuitive navigation: Unlike traditional mice confined to motion on one flat plane,
3Dconnexion 3D mice enable design engineers to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using
sixdegrees–offreedom sensor technology. By gently lifting, pressing and turning the controller cap, design
engineers can easily pan, zoom and rotate without stopping to select commands. Using a 3D mouse together
with a traditional mouse engages both hands in a balanced and cooperative work style.
• More time for the creative elements of design: 3Dconnexion 3D mice are preconfigured for the most commonly
used commands in CATIA, however, engineers can also further customise the programmable buttons to suit
their personal workflow needs using CATIAs builtin button mapping editor. With less time spent toggling views
and commands within CATIA, users are left with more time for the creative elements of a design.
• Improved design experience and error detection: In addition to improving the design experience, 3Dconnexion 3D
mice also help improve the quality of designs by aiding in the detection of design flaws, allowing CATIA users to
instantly view a design from varying angles for enhanced design review, verification and presentation.
• Range of 3D mice solutions: CATIA V5R19 SP4 is compatible with the entire 3Dconnexion 3D mouse product line,
including the Professional Series with the SpacePilot PRO (MSRP £399 ex. VAT), SpacePilot (MSRP £299 ex. VAT)
and SpaceExplorer (MSRP £229 ex. VAT), and the Standard Series with the SpaceNavigator (MSRP £89 ex. VAT)
and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP £99 ex. VAT).
