BricsCAD and 3Dconnexion

Two-handed precision for your designs

Enhance your BricsCAD workflow with 3Dconnexion devices, designed to deliver seamless two-handed control and exceptional precision in both 2D drafting and 3D modeling.

SpaceMouse

Balanced, natural navigation

Design and navigate in BricsCAD with a smooth, two-handed workflow that keeps you focused on the drawing instead of constant view manipulation. The SpaceMouse offloads navigation to your non-dominant hand, redistributing up to half of your daily click load for a more balanced, sustainable way of working.

  • Fluid view control: Pan, zoom, and rotate simultaneously.
  • Instant command access to BricsCAD tools, views, and macros via programmable buttons.
  • Healthier daily workflow: Shift up to 50% of repetitive navigation away from your primary hand to support a more natural posture and reduce the risk of overuse injuries.

3Dconnexion: power and ergonomics to improve your CAD work [Italian]

EmiCAD

As an engineer and designer, I’ve used 3Dconnexion devices throughout my career and experienced firsthand the productivity boost they provide. We build BricsCAD with efficiency and performance in mind for our customers, and combining it with precise hardware lets me navigate designs smoothly and stay focused on the work that matters.

Fredrik Gundersen, Senior Product Owner BricsCAD, Bricsys - part of Hexagon

Interacting with projects using the SpaceMouse allows for smooth navigation through 3D drawings by gently pushing, pulling, rotating, or tilting the controller cap. This way, your other hand is free to use a standard mouse simultaneously to select, create, and edit models with ease — making the most of BricsCAD’s direct modeling capabilities.
