Paulrus Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I've searched the forums and it seems its been brought up a few times in the past, but I would love to see more support for 3D Connexion devices. I have a Surface Dial and I honestly think I'm going to sell it because it's just too laggy and slow when compared to things like the Space Navigator. I think Microsoft made a big effort to save battery life on the Dial and it causes it to power down quickly. The Space Navigator is USB powered, so it's always on. All I'm looking for is pan, zoom and rotation - nothing else. I don't want to resize brushes with a wheel - just navigate my canvas. Any chance it could be added to Designer & Photo (Windows specifically)? -Paul SWB, YInoi, SnakeArtworX and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeArtworX Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I'm also interested in 3D Connexion SpaceNavigator support in Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer (both for OSX and Windows). Canvas navigation, brush resize, macro attached to Radial Menus, etc. Intuos5, jraz, YInoi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arte Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 It would be nice to have for plan navigation such as pan and zoom, but it isn't high on my priority list but will support the request anyway. One never knows. :-) jraz, mac17 and YInoi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWB Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Came here to make the same request. I'm an engineer and use my 3Dconnexion device all day long in CAD software like Altium Designer and SolidWorks. I feel crippled anytime I'm working in Adobe products, or now Designer/Photo/Publisher, and intuitively reach for my 3D mouse to pan/zoom and it doesn't work. These devices are huge productivity boosters, and supporting them would be yet another way to differentiate your offerings from Adobe's. Please add this!

Ony Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Came here to look for this! +1 for me. YInoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koskow Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 +1 for me - ability to zoom and rotate the canvas would be huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intuos5 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 +1 You can be much more precise with these devices to rotate the canvas at just the angle you like without breaking a sweat. Having used a Spacemouse pro with Blender's Grease Pencil, I know this would be a huge improvement over regular canvas navigation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenlgts Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 It would be nice to add the support for the Space Mouse. It's been a while. Is there an update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniversosdoEu Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) any updates on this ? Space Pilot Pro and navigator user here... for a LONG time.. Any news on the Affinity Suite ? thanks (PS: currently using Win 10.) Edited September 4, 2022 by UniversosdoEu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bunge Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 I'd like to use 3DConnexion Space Mouse too... any development? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erdorano Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I would like to know as well. I have now found several "hacky" solutions, but they are just not satisfactory. I use affinity photo with a graphics tablet and would like to use the space navigator to navigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophtware Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I would like this too. It would be nice if Affinity even said something as to whether they intend on supporting this in the future. It's frustrating when a long post like this get absolutely no response... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
