HiCAD 2023 | SP 2: Integration of the SpaceMouse

ISD Group

Using the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse completely revolutionizes the world of 3D design! The combination of HiCAD and 3Dconnexion offers me incredibly flexible viewing options and significantly speeds up the design process for me. The operation of the SpaceMouse is extremely simple and can be easily customized by the user to suit personal preferences.

Simon Geuder, Technical Sales CAD - ISD Software und Systeme

Using the 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse is an immense relief for me in the 3D CAD program HiCAD by ISD Software and Systems. Especially when designing large models in special machine construction and civil engineering, the frequently required zooming into detailed areas is greatly accelerated and simplified. I was particularly impressed by the excellent performance and intuitive operation.

Michael Kast, Presales/Aftersales Consultant -ISD Software und Systeme

The integration of the new 3Dconnexion SDK enables the full use of the SpaceMouse, regardless of the type of model. This way, every user can enjoy a unique design experience. Additionally, the buttons on the SpaceMouse, as well as the radial menus, can be individually assigned with all functions from HiCAD. At the touch of a button, the most important functions are readily available to every user.
