A 3Dconnexion 3D mouse is used to reorient and navigate a model’s view. The device has a pressure sensitive controller cap designed to flex in all directions. Push, pull, twist, or tilt the cap to manipulate the current view.
When a view change occurs with the 3Dconnexion 3D mouse, the ViewCube tool is reoriented to reflect the current view. You can change the behavior of the 3Dconnexion 3D mouse from the navigation bar.
