Siemens Solid Edge Supports 3Dconnexion 3D Mice

By DE Editors

3Dconnexion’s (San Jose, CA) line of 3D mice is now supported by the recently released Siemens Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology (ST), bringing advanced navigation features in Solid Edge Part, SheetMetal, Weldment, Assembly, and Draft documents.

Unlike mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice enable design engineers to move in all three dimensions simultaneously with six degrees of freedom to navigate advanced functions in the Solid Edge application environment more intuitively. Designed to integrate seamlessly into the 3D design workflow, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice offer Solid Edge users a range of advanced navigation features and design benefits, including seamless transition between Object and Camera modes for a streamlined design experience;  accessibility to essential 3D functions and tasks with one-touch access using the programmable buttons on the SpacePilot and SpaceExplorer for critical functions and speed keys, and more.

3Dconnexion’s 3D mice are supported by Siemens Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology on Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit) and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit).
