Re: How do you notice that you spent too much time in Autodesk Inventor?

"You try to tell everyone that 2 GB of RAM are definitely not enough for a “normal” computer." -----this ones so true! Ive got 4GB of ram and I think I want more....


I use a neat tool from 3D connexion, its a space navigator. personnal edition. And it is addictive!

Once you start using it on inventor, picture view, pdf documents. It will soon find its way into everything you do. you can also use it to view google earth with it too. The advantages of have 6 aixs in control on your left. and a mouse on the other....

I wish we have the technology to selectively mutate an extra arm...for the keyboard....

Once you become accustomed to the space navigator, you will want to rotate pictures with it(cant, can only zoom and pan). scroll with it, play games on it, and sometimes thinking that it is a direct replacement for a mouse......


check the attachment for what it is capable of.
Also this is a video of it in action. It isnt me! But we should all thank Forum3D for making a great demonstration video.
