The SpacePilot couples superior 3D motion control with an array of function keys powered by breakthrough adaptive sensing technology.
Good news for Autodesk Inventor and UGS NX users is that with the latest drivers the SpacePilot now automatically adapts to more than 21 environments within Inventor and 16 environments within NX software.
The adaptive sensing technology also supports Pro/E, SolidWorks, Solid Edge and COSMOSDesignSTAR.
3Dconnexion has also announced UNIX/Linux support for SpacePilot.
The new driver supports HP-UX 11.0 or higher, IBM AIX 5.2 or higher, Solaris 9/04 or higher (SPARC-based systems), as well as Red Hat EL WS 3 and SuSE 9.2 and applications including CATIA, NX and Pro/E.
The SpacePilot upgrade programme applies to all old serial controllers, so when customers update their UNIX/Linux workstation they can upgrade their controller at the same time.
