Digital camera reviews of 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator PE (Personal Edition) 3D Navigation Device USB ( 3DX-700029 )
Digital camera Review: Best invention for CAD in decades
Summary: 5 Stars
This device is amazing. Now you can truly move objects on the screen in a natural manner without having to muddle around with the keyboard and the mouse. It works in cooperation with the mouse so you can be even more productive.
If you use Solidworks or Pro/E this device is a must have. The price is right, it appears to be solidly engineered, absoutely brilliant.
PS - I've been working with CAD for nearly 40 years
Digital camera Review: Can not be better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this thing. I bought it here at Tiger on a whim after seeing it on the right side when I was looking for something else. I saw the reviews and the good price, and bought it. It was probably the best purchase I've made in the last 6 months. It has increased productivity so much. took about a day to get used to. It was so easy to integrate it into my everyday work flow. I can really see now why people say they now can't go without it. It works with a whole range of programs, and as a student, that really helps. I'm thinking of upgrading to the SpacePilot because of the extra programmable buttons. I feel I could be even faster if I don't need to move my hand from 3d mouse to keyboard every now and then.Digital camera Review: Do not work with Bryce 6 software
Summary: 4 Stars
Only work with the handful of 3D software listed in the makers website. It works good in Google Earth and controls nicely but someone needs to make drivers to make work with other 3D software.Digital camera Review: Easy to use, essential peripheral!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this device recently to use with Google Earth and Secondlife. It was incredibly easy to use, right out of the box with no learning curve in either application. It makes 3D viewing, navigation and movement very intuitive. It is a solid piece of equipment yet occupies very little space on your disk or keyboard tray. For the relatively small price, the benefit is huge. Recommended!Digital camera Review: Eh, good if you have the right software.
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this to use with Maya 7 on an Intel Mac. Unfortunately, performance issues with the Maya7 + Intel Mac combo prevent this device from functining in a usefull way. The item in Maya would not update on the screen until you released the controls. This makes it effectively useless because you can't see what you are doing until after it is done!
The company's website has a forum with direct access to the developers who were very helpful. Their solution was to upgrade Maya to 8.5 because it works fine for them.
I had to return this item because we need exactly Maya 7 for our custom tools. Other than that, it seemed to be a really good quality piece of hardware. It was much larger and heavier than I thought. It was very well made. If you have the right software, then it will be great for you!
