Desktop Setup SpacePilot™ PRO delivers the most advanced six-degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) sensor technology. Gently push, pull, twist or tilt the controller cap to pan, zoom and rotate 3D models or environments. Place the SpacePilot™ PRO on the opposite side of the keyboard to your standard mouse. One hand engages the 3D mouse to position your model: rotating, panning and zooming. The other hand uses the standard mouse to select, create and edit. The Ultimate Professional 3D Mouse Navigation Setting Keys 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 (Top Button) This button toggles dominant mode on or off. Dominant mode filters out all motion except for data coming from the axis that is being actuated the most. Pan and Zoom Key (Middle Button) This button toggles pan and zoom motion on or off. When turned on, translation motion along the three primary axes is allowed. Standard 3D Mouse Keys Rotation Key (Bottom Button) This button toggles rotation motion on or off. When turned on, rotation motion around the three primary axes is allowed. By turning rotation off, you 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. The Fit key instantly restores your model to the center of the screen while the Menu key opens the 3DxWare™ or application specific control panel for accessing essential SpacePilot™ PRO settings. Ideal Hand Position Position your fingers as shown. The contoured controller cap will guide your fingers into the perfect position for precise and effortless control. Feature Guide 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. By default, the speed is set to a level to help you adjust to the SpacePilot™ PRO quickly. You may find it useful to lower the speed for detailed, close-up work and increase the speed for design reviews and presentations.
