If your SpaceMouse is already configured to work with other applications, you don’t need to do any special steps. 

You can then follow these steps to set up your SpaceMouse for Shapr3D:

1. Go to 3Dconnexion’s website and download the latest version of 3Dconnexion’s driver, 3DxWare64 or 3DxWare32.
2. Install the driver.
   The installed driver will open the 3Dconnexion Home program.
   
   
3. Verify that the device works correctly using the test application installed by the driver.
   
   
4. Plug your SpaceMouse into the computer via the USB cable. If you’re using the wireless SpaceMouse, then connect the dedicated receiver and launch the pairing tool in the 3Dconnexion Home program. For more information on pairing the wireless 3D mouse, check out this article.

You can change the navigation mode of your SpaceMouse in the Views menu:

For more information on the navigation modes, refer to the SpaceMouse manual.
