3d Connexion Navigator

[Anonymous]

I just got a 3d Connexion mouse which is supposed to work with AC11 (under the view tab/navigation extras).
Has anyone used it? Any tips on how to make it work?

Cheers

It's fantastic!

Does this device allow you to navigate in a 2d window, or just 3d? Also, can the buttons be programmed to work with AC?

is there anything to change because for my space navigator is very slow…

space navigator only works in 3d..
As for the speed, have you set you 3d view options to open GL?

Only 3d navigation…

Since I'm doing this new book, I shook the 3Dconnexion people down for one of their Space Navigator Personal Edition thingies.

Here's the plug:

This device represents a breakthru in smooth 3D navigation. After just one day, I'm using it in Google Earth, SketchUp and Archicad already and I see that it is linked to operate in many other 3D programs. Because I use a Wacom tablet mouse, it is not really compatible with 3D navigating and have never really experienced the kind of flying around in Archicad you all can probably do.

This is just a great little tool, very heavy and satisfying, and cheap.
A winner.

So how much do they pay you per plug?

I get lots of things in here for free and only recommend the best stuff to you guys.

Besides, in this case, it is only their $50. product,
not their $300. product that I am liking in the first race.

Does anyone know if the 3D Space Navigator works on a G4 Mac? The system requirements at www.3dconnexion.com say it needs a dual-core Mac system. I'd like to use it for presentations on my old Powerbook G4, which has most of the same guts as the Core2Duo's, so I don't know what difference it would make. It also says it needs Mac OSX 10.4.6, which I exceed. Please, if anyone's tried, let me know!
