3Dconnexion 3D Mice Help Extend the Power of Dassault Systemes’ New CATIA V6R2010

By DE Editors

3Dconnexion has announced that its line of 3D mice, including the SpacePilot PRO, are now supported by Dassault Systemes’ CATIA Version 6 Release 2010, the company’s latest virtual design solution. 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice help engineers working in CATIA V6R2010 interact with and collaborate on designs more efficiently. 

In addition to increased control and navigation benefits,  the SpacePilot PRO 3D mouse also complements the improved efficiency focus of CATIA V6R2010, with features designed to help engineers save time and reduce interruptions in their design workflows. Its QuickView Navigation keys offer designers access to 32 standard views, allowing CATIA users and workgroups to instantly view a design from any angle for improved error detection and design review and verification, while its full-color LCD Workflow Assistant lists function-key assignments and delivers at-a-glance access to important information.

For added productivity, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice are also pre-configured with the most commonly used commands for CATIA, however, design engineers also have the flexibility to customize the programmable buttons to suit their personal workflow needs using CATIA’s built-in button mapping editor.

“The new innovations and capabilities featured in CATIA V6R2010 are designed to streamline development cycles and real-time collaboration, and the SpacePilot PRO 3D mouse echoes that priority with features that help engineers save time and reduce interruptions in their design workflows,” said Tom Schorr, global technology partner programs, Dassault Systemes. “A more efficient workflow leads to quicker time-to-market and, ultimately, a successful product. That simple equation makes it an easy decision for design engineers to integrate 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice into their CATIA design workflows.”
