An important feature for any electronic gadget is continued expansion of its capabilities (without having to buy a new replacement device). SpacePilot PRO is getting considerable support from 3DConnexion. The SpacePilot PRO, and the rest of the current 3DConnexion 3D mice line-up, now supports both SolidWorks 2010 and CATIA V6R2010.<\/p>\n

\"\"According to 3DConnexion, their 3D mice now complement new SolidWorks 2010 functions such as Rapid Dimension Tool and Mouse Gestures.\u00a0 I’ve personally not had a chance to evaluate these improvements with my SpacePilot PRO (which was, as I stated in a previous article<\/a>, given to me without any strings attached by 3DConnexion in April 2009).<\/p>\n

For CATIA V6, 3DConnexion doesn’t seem to really add any new support for functionality, but rather it is simply fully compatible with it.<\/p>\n

One additional note, there was a recent price reduction!\u00a0 SpacePilot PRO price was reduced from $499 to $399<\/strong>!\u00a0 Although this is still expensive for some, it does make the device more accessable for others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
