Feature Guide
3Dconnexion Space Mouse Pro Wireless
Controller Cap
The Controller Cap is the heart of your Space Mouse Pro Wireless. Its Six-
Degrees-of-Freedom (6DoF) sensor allows you to push, pull, rotate, or tilt to
pan, zoom and rotate your drawings and 3D models. The Space Mouse has
different motion profiles depending on the application you are using. In
Object Mode applications the 3D navigation behaves as if you were reaching
into the screen and holding the object in your own hand. In Camera Mode
applications, the navigation behaves like a camera you are viewing through.
For many applications, you can adjust this behavior in the Advanced Settings
of your Space Mouse Pro Wireless.
Menu Button
The Menu Button allows for fast and easy customization of your 3Dconnexion
devices. Pressing it will take you directly to the 3Dconnexion Settings.
Select the device you want to configure in the flyout window and customize it.
Fit Button
With the Fit Button, you will never lose sight of your drawing or 3D model.
Press it to bring your drawing back to the center of your screen.
3Dconnexion Buttons The Space Mouse Pro Wireless features four additional programmable function buttons, located above the controller cap. It instantly recognizes the applications you are using, as well as their environments, and automatically assigns the most used commands to the buttons. You can personalize commands assigned to the function buttons using the 3Dconnexion Settings.
On-Screen Display
The Space Mouse Pro Wireless offers an On-Screen Display (OSD) that shows you
the current assignment of the 3Dconnexion buttons. To display the OSD of your
Space Mouse Pro Wireless, press and hold any of the 3Dconnexion Buttons. It
will be displayed as long as you keep the button pressed. This function can be
disabled in the 3Dconnexion Settings.
Keyboard Modifiers
The Space Mouse Pro Wireless comes with four Keyboard Modifiers that work like
the corresponding keys on your keyboard. You can personalize the commands
assigned to the Keyboard Modifiers using the 3Dconnexion Settings.
Quick View Buttons
The Space Mouse Pro Wireless features four Quick View Buttons helping you to
quickly bring your drawing or 3D model into the desired view. You have the
option to change the assignment of the buttons in the 3Dconnexion Settings.
Rotation Toggle Button
In the center between the Quick View Buttons is the Rotation Toggle Button.
Pressing it once locks the rotation around all axes.
Connect your Space Mouse Pro Wireless The Space Mouse Pro Wireless can be connected via the included 3Dconnexion Universal Receiver, the 3Dconnexion Keyboard Pro, or USB cable. Note: Since your Space Mouse Pro Wireless is factory paired with the Universal Receiver, you must first remove the Universal Receiver from your computer, before you can pair it with the Keyboard Pro. Pairing via the 3Dconnexion Keyboard Pro: Access the Windows start menu and launch the 3Dconnexion Pairing tool. Now press Add device and follow the instructions of the 3Dconnexion Pairing tool to connect your Space Mouse Pro Wireless with your Keyboard Pro.
Charge your Space Mouse Pro Wireless
When the status LED of your Space Mouse Pro Wireless turns red, it has less
than 10% battery power left and should be charged. Connect your Space Mouse to
a charging port of your computer by using the included USB cable. As long as
the Space Mouse Pro Wireless is charging, the status LED will pulse green, and
it will turn solid green when it is fully charged.
3Dconnexion Settings
You can access the 3Dconnexion Settings panel via the Menu Button on your
Space Mouse Pro Wireless, 3Dconnexion Home (on your desktop), the icon in your
notification area (systray), or the Windows start menu. The name of the active
application is displayed at the top of the panel. Any setting change is
relevant to this application only. The current connection mode, as well as the
battery level are displayed by the icons below the product image. Speed
This slider sets the overall speed for your device. In other words, it changes
the amount of force or torque that needs to be applied to the Space Mouse cap
to move an object, scene, or image.
If multiple 3Dconnexion devices are
connected, you can select the desired product to configure by clicking on the
flyout button at the top left of the panel.
Advanced Settings
Settings you can configure in the Advanced Settings panel are application-
specific. So, it’s easy to configure your Space Mouse to work just how you
prefer in each application.
Navigation
Pan / Zoom: Enables/disables panning of your part, assembly or drawing.
Enabled by default. Rotation: Enables/disables rotation of your part, assembly
or drawing. Enabled by default. Dominant: Turns on and off dominant filter
axis, which when enabled restricts the pan, zoom or, rotations to a single
axis.
Zoom Direction
Forward / Backward: Zoom by pushing the cap toward or away from you parallel
to the desk. Up / Down: Zoom by pulling the cap upwards or pushing the cap
downwards parallel to the screen.
Speed
Use the slider to set the speed for each of the 6-Dimensions-of-Freedom
individually. To reverse the direction of a movement, check the Reverse box
for that movement.
Application Specific Advanced Settings Some applications feature additional Space Mouse settings. For those applications you have additional options available in the Advanced Settings Panel:
Navigation Modes
Object Mode enables Object Mode navigation – this mode is like reaching into
the screen and holding the model in your hand. Push the SpaceMouse cap left,
and the model moves left. Push right and the model moves right. Camera Mode
enables using the Controller Cap as if it is a camera. Push into the scene and
the camera moves forward into the scene. Push left and the camera moves to the
left (the scene moves to the right). Lift up and the camera moves up (the
scene moves down). You are entering the scene as if walking around in it.
Target Camera Mode enables Target Camera Mode navigation. Manipulate the
SpaceMouse cap as if it is a target camera. Push into the scene and the camera
moves forward into the scene. Push left and the camera moves to the left (the
scene moves to the right). Lift up and the camera moves up (the scene moves
down). When rotating the cap in any direction you will orbit around the target
point (see Rotation Center below). Helicopter Mode enables a Camera Mode
navigation but pushing the cap forward while looking down will not change the
altitude of the camera. Lock Horizon forces the horizon to be kept leveled as
it currently is. Rotation Center
Auto sets the center of rotation dynamically. When the complete model is in
view, the center of volume of the whole model is used as the rotation point.
When you move closer, the center of rotation will be set on an object close to
your center of the view. Use selected Item forces the rotation center to only
take the currently selected objects into account. Always Show always
visualizes the Rotation Center. Show on Motion will visualize the Rotation
Center only during movement. Hide will disable the Rotation Center
visualization.
Other Options
The applications below feature special options. More information can be found
in the 3Dconnexion FAQ: Autodesk 3ds Max, Autodesk Maya, Solid Edge,
SOLIDWORKS
Buttons
The Buttons panel within 3Dconnexion Settings allows you to assign commands,
macros or, radial menus. The name of the active application is displayed at
the top of the panel. Any setting change is relevant to this application only.
Press and hold a 3Dconnexion Button to get the button assignment for the
current app displayed on the OSD. To disable this function, check Disable On-
Screen Display.
A note about Environment sensitivity: Some applications feature environment
sensitive key mapping. In those applications, you can have different key
assignments depending on the currently active environment.
Assigning Quick Macros to buttons
Click on the text in the input field and press the required key or key
combination to quickly assign a keystroke or macro. When a macro is created,
it always sends a press and release command. If you want to assign a press and
hold command instead (for example Ctrl or Shift), you should use the Keyboard
command category in the flyout window.
Assigning Commands using the flyout window
Clicking on the > arrow on the right-hand side of the button field opens a
flyout window for that Space Mouse button: The flyout window allows you to
browse or search for commands in different categories. When you select a
command by clicking on it, it is automatically assigned to the corresponding
Space Mouse button. The category of the command that it is currently assigned
to is highlighted in bold.
Creating Macros
First, click on the > arrow on the right-hand side of the key field. Then,
expand the Macros category and click on New Macro. This opens the macro editor
where you can assign a name for your macro and a sequence of keystrokes in the
corresponding fields. Clicking on Save will automatically assign the new macro
to the button from where you opened the panel.
Creating Radial
Menus
First, click on the > arrow on the right-hand side of the key field. Then,
expand the Radial Menu category and click on New Radial Menu.
This brings up the radial menu editor where you can assign a name and commands
to the different sections. Your new radial menu will be automatically assigned
to the key from where you opened the panel.
