3dconnexion SPACEBALL

[sapatos]

I have been using a spaceball for PCDmis and find it works well. I was wondering if there are any other users out there...and what driver works best for PCDmis? I am using the SPACEBALL 5000.

V4.2
CATIA V5R17

I've seen spaceballs so sorry no help from me....May the schwartz be with you

I have a Space Navigator, not a SpaceBall. It works well, we just don't have a lot of 3D CAD to really utilize it. So it just sits in my desk collecting dust.

I love my Marble mouse have one at home and one at work. Sort of a minispaceball.

It has the drivers for it, its sweet. You would think that Hexagon would give us something better than just a cheap Dell Mouse or at least offer it.

You would think...

It's a whole lot smoother when dealing w/cad models...

Once anyone using one goes back to an regular mouse, it will be like going back to the caveman days.

Used one with DMIS & UniGraphics. Spaceball for left hand, mouse on right. Once you get used to it, it can really speed up the operation.
Software depends on yous space mouse, OS and so on.

Has anyone had any luck with a SpacePilot and ver. 3.7mr2? It works wonderfully in SolidWorks, but the navigation in PC-DMIS is so bizarre that it's still easier to use a mouse. Was the support ironed out in ver. 4?
