SOLIDWORKS Visualize Features

SpaceMouse

Object Mode

The SpaceMouse cap represents the model (object) on your screen. The model mirrors all movements of the cap.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap right, the model moves to the right. Twist the cap to the right and your model rotates in place to the right. Lift the cap up/down and the model moves up/down.

Fly Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport (camera) inside a scene. The view mirrors all movements of the cap.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your view to the right. Twist the cap right to turn your view to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your view up.

Drone Mode

The SpaceMouse cap controls the viewport inside your scene. The viewport mirrors all movements of the cap. While moving forward when looking down, the viewport maintains its altitude over your scene, allowing you to ‘hover’ over it.

Example:
Push the SpaceMouse cap to the right to pan your view to the right. Twist the cap right to turn your view to the right. Lift the cap to vertically move your view up. Push the cap forward while looking down to your scene and your view will move forward parallel to the ground.
