Hi,

Sure, the 3D connexion mouses are supported by Capture.

Can somebody explain how the 3DConnexion Mouse is used best in Capture? Or how the motion is used to control the 3D?

I have still some problems to understand how it works in Capture and my View is often "flying away" but it works better on the training system from Connexion. So I wonder if there is something to be configured in another way to get it worked as expected. Especially zooming in and out seems not to work properly.

And are the older Models of the 3D Mouse working in the same way the new ones do or is there something very different excpet the design?

...and maybe someone from Capture will tell the People from 3D Connexion, that Capture can be listed in the supporting softwares for their products. :-)
I tried to do that, but they want to know it from the company itself as far as I understood...

Make sure you have trie the camera mode in the options of Capture, and remember you can always manipulate directions and also invert them through the 3d connexion options. It takes a little practice but you can adjust it to match your expectations.

For me the following settings work best:

In Options:
Free-flight navigation: Yes
Disable trackpad panoration (whatever that may be): Yes
Invert Zoom: No
Zoom to cursor: Yes
Sliding Edges: Yes
3d mouse navigation: Camera
