Unlock powerful extras in CATIA V5 not available to mouse-only users. From concept to reality, you’ll accelerate your designs to market. Find out why thousands of users in aerospace and automotive wouldn’t drive CATIA V5 without one.

Why CATIA V5 Users rely on 3Dconnexion Navigation Devices

  • Increase productivity up to 30%; reduce mouse usage by over 50%
  • Drag and drop any CATIA V5 command to programmable keys
  • Dynamically display commands on the SpacePilot LCD
  • Access power functions like Fly-Through mode, and Fast Zoom
  • Use SpacePilot with CATIA V5, DELMIA V5, ENOVIA V5
  • Endorsed by Dassault Systèmes and integrated into their workplace learning solutio

Superior Navigation: Pan, zoom, and rotate all at once in one fluid motion. A mouse-only solution allows just one motion at a time, with many stops and starts to position and edit your model.

One-touch access to all CATIA V5 functions and macros: Store any CATIA V5 function or macro, including keyboard modifiers, in SpacePilot’s programmable buttons. Multiple sets of configurations keep a wealth of essential commands right at your fingertips.

Streamline all modes from Sketcher to Drawing:

  • Sketcher Mode: Use the mouse to sketch while simultaneously using SpacePilot to optimally position the work plane. Inspect your sketch from multiple positions. Initiate commands such as Normal View, Hide/Show, Swap Visible Space and Exit Workbench with programmable keys. Toggle rotation on and off with the 3D lock button.
  • Part Modeling Mode: View a model from different view angles with SpacePilot while simultaneously adjusting the size of a feature with the mouse. Drag and copy or drag and move features using the mouse while positioning the part with the 3D controller. Access functions like Shift, Ctrl, Enter, ESC, Fit all In, Top/Front/Left/ Right View, Chamfer, Fillet, Hole and others by pressing SpacePilot’s speed keys.
  • Assembly Mode: Building assemblies with SpacePilot is simple; position the complete assembly as you insert, or remove components. When using CATIA V5’s Snap function, SpacePilot helps you find the optimum view angle for selecting mating faces of components. Easily access all functions like Snap, Insert Component, Reset Compass, Ctrl, Esc and many others with SpacePilot keys.
  • Drawing Mode: Position the drawing sheet while creating and placing drawing views, dimensions and annotations. Rapidly access all Drawing mode functions, like Fit all In, New View, Dimensions, Balloon, Geometrical Tolerance and more.

Unleash hidden power functions: Activate the Zoom-to-Cursor command by pressing a power key; then use the navigation cap for fast and accurate zoom. In Fly Mode, SpacePilot lets you steer through your model with full control of direction, speed and acceleration.
