Fremont, Calif. - June 30, 2009 — 3Dconnexion's full line of 3D mice, including the new SpacePilot™ PRO flagship 3D mouse, is now supported by Dassault Systèmes' CATIA Version 5 Release 19 SP4. 3Dconnexion 3D mice enhance the design power and expanded feature-set offered in the leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution, allowing for greater productivity throughout the design process.
3Dconnexion's 3D mice offer CATIA users a more streamlined design process, increased comfort and performance benefits. Highlights include:
Increased Control and More Intuitive Navigation: Unlike traditional mice confined to motion on one flat plane, 3Dconnexion 3D mice enable design engineers to move in all three dimensions simultaneously, using six-degrees-of-freedom sensor technology. By gently lifting, pressing and turning the controller cap, design engineers can easily pan, zoom and rotate without stopping to select commands. Using a 3D mouse together with a traditional mouse engages both hands into a balanced and cooperative work style.
More Time for the Creative Elements of Design: 3Dconnexion 3D mice are pre-configured for the most commonly used commands in CATIA, however, engineers can also further customize the programmable buttons to suit their personal workflow needs using CATIA's built-in button mapping editor. With less time spent toggling views and commands within CATIA, users are left with more time for the creative elements of a design.
Improved Design Experience and Error Detection: In addition to improving the design experience, 3Dconnexion 3D mice also help improve the quality of designs by aiding in the detection of design flaws, allowing CATIA users to instantly view a design from varying angles for enhanced design review, verification and presentation.
Range of 3D Mice Solutions: CATIA V5R19 SP4 is compatible with the entire 3Dconnexion 3D mouse product line, including the Professional Series with the SpacePilot PRO (MSRP $499), SpacePilot (MSRP $399) and SpaceExplorer™ (MSRP $299), and the Standard Series with the SpaceNavigator (MSRP $99) and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP $129).
