Man you got that right, those 3DConnection mouses are very expensive... Which one did you go with?

I went with the 3D Connection Wireless Spacemouse. I found the interface pretty confusing to set up, but I found if you "Reverse" absolutely everything it's use suddenly becomes amazingly intuitive.
Once set up it's a VERY nice piece of kit. My only real complaint is that it costs and arm and a leg... and another leg!
That is one of there more interesting ones.
Now call me cynical - but this thread does read like an advert for Onshape.
I will go and have a look at it ;-)
Although as my broadband is not great and the signal in my workshop even slower. Cloud based appicatiions are pretty much always going to be at the bottom of any list I have.
Well I signed up and watched the first two tutorial videos. And that's me done :-)
Talk about frigging complicated. Also uses faces not solids.
Nah I'll stick with openscad. Much Much simpler.
We all expected that. You are an aardvark, after all... ;)Quote:

Versus the 3 seconds I need to type: cube(10);
It would have made more sense to simply have a 3d shape tool that you could adjust for different planes, sides etc.
