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.

Auto Rotation Center

Sets the center of rotation dynamically, depending on your model’s position in relation to your view. When the complete model is in view, the entire model’s volume center is used as a pivot. When moving closer, the pivot changes to the view center.

Move Selected Objects

Enables or disables the independent movement of sub-parts within an assembly.

Sketch Lock

Allows you to automatically turn rotations off when entering sketch mode.

Rotation Lock

Manually toggles rotations On / Off.

CadMouse

QuickZoom

Zoom and center the model detail behind the mouse cursor.

SmoothZoom

Note: On certain buttons you may need to disable the on-screen display to use SmoothZoom as a long-press function.

Environment-specific commands

Solid Edge environment commands are directly accessible for mapping onto buttons or radial menus. The command configuration adjusts according to the current active environment.

Example:
In environment “A” you can map a certain set of commands which differ from what you mapped in environment “B” or others.

Command icons

Solid Edge command icons are shown in various 3Dconnexion user interfaces such as radial menus, on-screen displays, or LCDs.

Radial Menus

Radial menus enable quick access to Solid Edge commands through a simple mouse gesture.

Macros

Macros can be created to execute a sequence of commands in the current workspace. Those macros can be accessed via buttons or radial menus.
