Hi there,

Seconding what miles said about a year ago, I too would really really like to be able to use my spacenavigator. It cost me 60 euros and makes a world of difference for navigating 3D environments. It is a much more natural and smoother, pleasing way of exploring your model, unlike with a keyboard and mouse/trackpad which i find very frustrating in most 3d apps (sorry). At 60 euros a pop, it's definitely accessible.

Google Sketch Up supports it, I use it at work with Catia too, and the difference is huge, makes you more productive too, simply because you can work faster. Any app that supports these devices is huge penchant for me.

The number of apps supported for OS X is getting growing steadily, and you would definately get an easy sale from me if you where on that list!

Hope you get to try it out for yourselves, once you do i think you wont look back.

let us know what your views/opinions/experiences, would live to here about it if you got the opportunity to get your hands on one and how you think it can intergrate with your product.

And if you're an end user and you feel the same way, get your fingers out and lett it be known!

Cheers

Seb

Hi Wookie,

Thanks for reminding about the Space Navigator. We'll work on the support of this devise when it is possible.

Hi,

Supporting this devise isn't a high priority task, so I don't expect that this will happen soon.
