Let us just start by saying that we love our 3D mice by 3Dconnexion, so we’ve determined that we can’t live without them. We highly recommend using a 3D mouse in conjunction with SolidWorks because of its many benefits.
Here are 8 reasons to use a 3D mouse with SolidWorks:
- You can easily manipulate 3D objects with one hand while your other hand is free to click away
- Avoid costly design errors through enhanced model exploration.
- Get 20% greater productivity.
- After using a 3D mouse, you can’t remember what it was like without it.
- Obtain 50% fewer mouse clicks.
- Pan, zoom and rotate the model or camera as if you’re holding it in your hand.
- Quickly navigate through three-dimensional worlds.
- Using a 3D mouse is addictive. Very addictive.

Still not convinced? Come try out a 3D mouse at one our New England offices. We have them set up and ready for you to use with SolidWorks. Try it before you buy it!
