Mode d'emploi

Using the Controller Cap (6Dof Sensor)

The core of the SpaceMouse Pro is its controller cap, which provides 6-degrees-of-freedom navigation. Gently push, pull, twist, or tilt the cap to simultaneously pan, zoom, and rotate your 3D models or camera views. The sensitivity can be adjusted in the 3Dconnexion software to match your preference and application requirements.

• Casserole: Push the cap left, right, forward, or backward.
• Zoom: Pull the cap up (towards you) to zoom out, or push it down (away from you) to zoom in.
• Tourner: Twist the cap clockwise or counter-clockwise to rotate around the Z-axis. Tilt the cap forward, backward, or sideways to rotate around the X and Y axes.

Touches programmables

The 15 programmable keys allow you to execute frequently used commands directly from the device, reducing reliance on the keyboard and standard mouse. These keys can be configured for specific applications, and their functions are displayed on the on-screen display for easy reference.

• Application Command Buttons (1-4): Assign common commands specific to your active 3D application.
• RapideView Touches: Instantly switch to standard views (e.g., top, front, side, isometric).
• Rotation Toggle Key: Lock or unlock rotation for precise panning and zooming without accidental rotation.
• Keyboard Modifiers (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Esc): Access common keyboard shortcuts directly.
• Touche menu: Opens the 3Dconnexion radial menu for additional commands.
• Fit Key: Ajuste automatiquement le view to fit the entire model within the display.

Entretien

• Nettoyage: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the SpaceMouse Pro. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampNettoyez le chiffon avec de l'eau ou une solution nettoyante douce. Évitez les produits chimiques agressifs et les matériaux abrasifs.
• Controller Cap Care: The controller cap is sensitive. Avoid applying excessive force or twisting it beyond its natural range of motion. Do not attempt to remove the cap unless specifically instructed by 3Dconnexion support.
• Gestion des câbles: Ensure the USB cable is not kinked, pinched, or subjected to undue stress, which can damage the internal wiring.
• Stockage: When not in use, store the device in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Dépannage

  • Essayez de brancher l'appareil sur un autre port USB.
  • Redémarrez votre ordinateur.
  • Verify that the 3Dconnexion drivers are installed and up to date.
• Controller Cap Not Working Correctly (e.g., erratic movement, no movement):
  • Check the sensitivity settings in the 3Dconnexion software.
  • Ensure no debris is obstructing the movement of the cap.
  • Recalibrate the device through the 3Dconnexion control panel if available.
• Programmable Keys Not Functioning:
  • Confirm that the 3Dconnexion software is running in the background.
  • Check the key assignments in the 3Dconnexion control panel for the specific application you are using.
  • Ensure the on-screen display is active and showing the correct profile.
• Problèmes de compatibilité logicielle :
  • Ensure your 3D application is officially supported by 3Dconnexion.
