You’ll be amazed at how much faster you can work with NX when you use a 3Dconnexion navigation input device. You can pan, zoom, and rotate in one fluid motion with one hand while you edit with the mouse in the other. Accelerate every step of your product development process, from concept to production. You’ll never want to work with just a mouse again!

Why NX Users rely on 3Dconnexion Navigation Devices

  • Improve productivity by more than 20%; reduce mouse usage by over 50%
  • Pan, zoom and rotate in one fluid motion; without your mouse
  • Map standard or custom NX accelerators to speed keys for quick access
  • Watch functions update automatically on the SpacePilot as you move from one mode to another, such as Sketch and Part
  • Enhance/Improve all steps of the design process from Sketch to Assembly
  • Store unlimited commands in SpacePilot's speed keys for 16+ environments

Superior Navigation: Pan, zoom, and rotate in one fluid motion. A mouse-only solution allows just one motion at a time, with many stops and starts to position and edit your model.

Access Accelerators: Set any programmable key to access any NX standard or custom accelerator for quick command access while navigating. Unlimited sets of accelerators can easily be created for every environment as sets can be switched as needed.

Enhance all work modes from Sketch to Drawing

  • Sketch Mode: Use the mouse to sketch while optimally positioning the work plane with SpacePilot. Inspect your sketch from multiple angles. Access quick commands such as Orient View to Sketch, or Finish Sketch Current Section, with a single touch of the programmable keys.
  • Part Modeling Mode: Use the 3D navigation device to view your model from several different view angles while simultaneously using the mouse to adjust the size of features you’re creating. Take advantage of functions like Extrude, Edge Blend as well as keyboard modifiers like Shift, ESC, Ctrl+Shift while keeping your hand on the device.
  • Assembly Mode: Enhance the way you build assemblies. Reposition individual components with the mouse using the drag handles, while simultaneously navigating with the device. View the complete assembly from all angles, checking for correct placement and function. Reposition components and assemblies while applying mating constraints with the mouse.
  • Drawing Mode: Navigate smoothly and rapidly across the drawing sheet. With SpacePilot, you can easily position drawing views, and create and place dimensions and annotations. Map functions like Dimensions and Symbols to keys for quick access.

Coordinate System: Move the current coordinate system using the mouse and drag handles, while navigating the scene with the 3Dconnexion navigation device. You’ll see a more unified view of your work.




“I find the SpacePilot’s ability to adapt instantly and adjust map keys appropriately to the active application a welcome advancement.”
