3Dconnexion launches new 3D mouse.Byline: Dubai 3Dconnexion, a subsidiary of Logitech and a leading provider of 3D mice for 3D design and visualization, has its most powerful 3D mouse ever -- the SpacePilot Pro. The company's flagship 3D mouse is designed to deliver advanced control of 3D models, easier access to the power of professional 3D applications, fewer interruptions in the design workflow, and superior comfort. Specifically, the SpacePilot PRO features a new color LCD workflow assistant, second-generation QuickView navigation technology, intelligent function keys, and an improved design for enhanced comfort and control. "3Dconnexion's 3D mice have rewritten the rules on the way design engineers and professionals interact with 3D environments," said Dieter Neujahr, president of 3Dconnexion. "Our new SpacePilot Pro builds on our market-leading industry experience, delivering the most powerful 3D mouse we've ever made. It enables increased performance that ultimately results in better designs, created in less time." The SpacePilot Pro 3D mouse provides the highest level of performance features ever available from 3Dconnexion, including: * LCD workflow assistant: The color LCD lists function-key assignments and provides at-a-glance access to Microsoft Outlook For the e-mail and news client bundled with certain versions of Microsoft Windows, see .

They include the four arrow keys, pageUp, pageDown, home and end keys. improve error detection, design review, and design presentation by providing one-touch access to the following views: top and bottom, right and left, front and back, two isometric views, and 90-degree view rotation of any view either clockwise or counter-clockwise -- for a total of 32 views. A short press activates a key's primary view command, while pressing and holding a key activates a secondary view command. In addition, new Navigation Setting keys offer simplified and customizable control, allowing professionals to turn pan-and-zoom, rotation and one-axis control on or off, making it easier to define navigation settings for certain work modes. * Intelligent function keys: Five new fully customizable, dual-function keys offer immediate, one-touch access to 10 frequently used commands within any supported 3D application. The SpacePilot PRO automatically detects the active application and assigns appropriate function keys -- whether default or customized. The color LCD denotes the function key assignments and application mode so engineers can easily identify commands and design states. * Superior Comfort: The SpacePilot PRO has a new sculpted sculpt v. sculpt·ed, sculpt·ing, sculpts v.tr. 1.
