Hi again đź‘‹
This is an update you just have to download! With [4.7.1](https://apps.apple.com/hu/app/shapr-3d-cad-modeling/id1091675654), we’re taking the mouse experience to the next level because… _Shapr3D now supports SpaceMouse!_ Navigate the design space and run commands efficiently with 3Dconnexion’s ergonomic 3D mouse.
Before you get modeling with the SpaceMouse, you have to set up a couple things. Here’s a quick and dirty to-do list for you:
1. Download Shapr3D’s configuration for SpaceMouse [here](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402816382482).
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and download the attached file (3Dconnexion Config Shapr3D.3dc).
2. Download and install the [beta version of 3Dconnexion’s driver, 3DxWareMac](https://3dconnexion.com/uk/support/faq/beta-driver-for-macos-11-big-sur/).
3. Restart your Mac.
4. Import Shapr3D’s configuration in **System Preferences \> 3Dconnexion**.
_Note: This file contains pre-configured settings for Shapr3D. You’ll be able to reconfigure the mapping and view the commands’ names when 3Dconnexion releases its driver update in the future._
5. Plug in or connect your 3D mouse and get modeling!
For more detailed steps, take a look at [this article](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402816382482).
In other news, we put together a bundle of changes:
- We copied over all the tools in the **Sketch** , **Add** , **Transform** , and **Tools** menus to the menu bar.
[](https://show.pics.io/preview/60d48e37ae04b80011c6d785)
- When you zoom and pan with a 3-button mouse that has a mouse wheel, the design space’s view won’t get stuck anymore.
- The **Color** tool’s smartened up so when you save a preset color, any opacity setting is also properly saved.
- We straightened some things out in the backend, so you can use the **Shell** and **Project** tools and the **Items** manager worry-free. And, you can sketch lines on different planes hassle-free.

This is a great improvement in terms of productivity! Thanks!

Any idea when 3Dconnexion devices will work on Windows?
It works well on my MacBook.

Any news if this will work on Ipad with the IpadOS16 now support Driverkit?

It could, but it’s up to 3DConnexion to generate and keep updating the driver.

Because there are certain technical limitations that made it really hard for us to integrate it with the Windows app. We managed to find a solution, and now we are working on an implementation, but it was more complex than just adding a few lines of code.

The SpaceMouse takes a little getting use to but it’s an absolute joy to use.
I originally ordered the wired version in error but returned it and got the bluetooth version instead.
Fly-throughs and model orbiting are so much better than when using a mouse, trackpad or surface and pen.
