Best 3D Mouse for Creo

What is the best mouse for Creo?

Creo puts spin, pan and zoom on the middle button: drag to spin, add Shift to pan, add Ctrl to zoom. A 3D mouse takes all of that over. The SpaceMouse in your left hand moves the view while your right hand selects and builds features, so your hands stop juggling.

Creo Parametric supports 3Dconnexion devices natively, so any SpaceMouse works as a Creo mouse once the free driver is installed.

Pair it with a CAD mouse

Because Creo uses the middle button so much, a dedicated middle button makes a real difference. You stop pressing down on the scroll wheel all day.

CadMouse Pro Wireless

A dedicated middle button for Creo's spin, pan and zoom, plus Smart Scroll and radial menus.

Setting up your Creo 3D mouse

1. Download the free 3DxWare driver from 3Dconnexion.
2. Plug in your SpaceMouse, or pair it over Bluetooth.
3. Open Creo. It detects the device automatically, and you can assign your favourite commands to the buttons.

Common questions

Does a 3D mouse work in Creo drawings?
Yes. It pans and zooms in drawings, and adds full rotation in parts and assemblies.

Do I still need a regular mouse?
Yes. The 3D mouse moves the view, and your regular mouse or CadMouse selects and sketches. That two-handed setup is where the speed comes from.
