What’s New at AU? Don’t Miss the Chance to See the Newest Technologies from 3D Connexion

3D Connexion (booth #336) will be showcasing their 3D mouse, SpaceExplorer. This improved technology promises some great benefits for Autodesk product users including:

• Increased Productivity by more than 20%: Save time by navigating your model with the 3D mouse in one hand, while simultaneously using your traditional mouse to select, create, and edit.
• Enhanced Comfort by Reducing Clicks by 50%: By spreading the workload across both hands, you reduce traditional mouse clicks by up to 50%. 
• Improved Design Performance: Whether you’re working on a sketch or a complex 3D model, the navigation experience encourages levels of model exploration that are crucial to avoiding costly design errors.

Check out the innovations that make these benefits possible:

• Using a 3D mouse to control your CAD models is like reaching into the screen and holding them in your hand. It’s a level of control that’s simply not possible with a traditional mouse and keyboard.
• Using a 3D application with a traditional mouse and keyboard only means clicking your mouse to pan, zoom, and rotate models and then stopping to select, create, and edit. It’s a very “stop start” process that disrupts creativity, derails your train of thought, and wastes time.
• 3D mouse users benefit from a balanced and cooperative work style. One hand engages the 3D mouse to position the model or navigate the environment while your other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to select, create, or edit. It’s a two-handed work style where you click a lot less and accomplish a lot more.
• Using two hands is not as hard as it sounds. Just think about peeling a potato. Most people use their left hand to position the potato while the right hand does the detailed work with the peeler. It’s just as intuitive with a 3D mouse. In a recent study, 80% of 3D mouse users stated they felt comfortable using the 3D mouse after two days.
