3D motion controllers

Applies to 2017.3 Update and later

3D motion controllers allow you an easy way to rotate the part about different rotation axes.

With the ribbon user interface (ribbon UI) installed, Autodesk Moldflow software supports 3Dconnexion 3D motion controllers, including:

Note: Serial mice are not supported in 64-bit operating systems.

To use 3D motion controller functionality, you must have a 3D motion controller device connected.

When a 3D motion controller is connected, you can position the cursor at any point on the model and use the 3D motion controller functionality to move the model about the X, Y, and Z axes. You can also program (map) the 3D motion controller mouse buttons to any function by using the software that came with it.

Tip: Please install and use driver 3.16.1 or later.
