Got my "new" Space Pilot....

[Joe788]

I received my Space Pilot on Friday, from the ebay store "offleaseavenue"

 

 

It was $99+ a few bucks for shipping, and worth EVERY penny. You can tell it's a high quality product as soon as you pull it out of the box (it weighs about 3lbs). It has some small scratches and other signs of use, but nothing compared to the coffee and crumbs I'm going to litter it with.

 

 

I'm using it with Solidworks, and X3. Before I received it, I searched through the archives here and noticed a handful of people that found it very awkward to use. I had the same problem at first, it was beyond awkward. After I reversed the Pan Left/Right, Pan Up/Down, and the Zoom functions, everything suddenly seemed more natural.

 

It's already got "Fit to Screen", and "select view rotation point" tied into the standard button configuration, but I really want to add "Gview=Tplane". Can somebody steer me in the right direction on that?

 

Anybody who spends even a few hours a day behind MC or SW, should really consider picking up one of these $99 Space Pilots. It's worth it.

If you do ANY 3D work, this tool will just make life so much better.

I was able to create a mapped key then set it in the space pilot.

$100.00 sounds like a hella deal to me.. I think they around 4 or so.. Got mine for 250 (new) on ebay..

Thanks Jay, that's exactly what I needed!

 

I'm loving this Space Pilot more and more by the minute! I ended up mapping the "T" hard key to the GView=Tplane hot key.
