To those who keep up-to-date with current updates with competing CAD programs like SolidEdge and ProDesktop etc, there is a new device on the market.
It's called the Asteroid, and allows for the freedom of a 3D operator to virtually 'Fly Throughougt' the object that is currently being drawn.
Its basically an ergonomic ball that fits into your hand, and can be moved throughout all 6 dimensions (3 lineal, 3 rotational dimensions).
What it does, is it draws Vector diagrams depending on where it is the operator pushes it, and alters the view on screen to fit the new viewpoint. Its similar to the 'Flyover' tool in VectorWorks 2009, but can be used without the aid of a mouse.
I'd like VectorWorks to make an update, a module, a pallet, something, that allows for this Device to be plugged into my computer, and me being able to use it to aid my drawings.
I think that this new technology would be a serious asset to VectorWorks, and I highly recomend its inclusion into the program
