efficient setup for space mouse?
(OP)
I just got a SpaceExplorer and I was wondering if anyone out there has figured out an efficient/powerful way to use it in SolidWorks. Right now I just use the Esc and Ctrl keys and I use the "controller cap" to rotate and zoom. However, in order for it to replace my keyboard shortcuts I need to at least be able to rotate and move components within an assembly, not just fly around the assembly. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Chris

Click on the Show Mapping Panel button on the 3DControl toolbar (looks like a section of a loaf of bread). This will bring up the assignment area for motion/buttons. Double-click the 3Dcontrol option and you'll see a list of options beneath--drag Toggle Sub-Part Movement to whichever button you want mapped.
My buttons are (L) Normal To and (R) Sets Center Point.
