Two Updates for 3dconnexion's Big 3D Mouse

3dconnexion's SpacePilot PRO 3D mouse sports a color LCD window that can report useless-to-me information like recently-arrived emails in Outlook.

But now an update from the Logitech subsidiary makes the device a touch more useful:

Model Properties Applet reports file property information from SolidWorks, Inventor, Pro/E, and NX -- what, no Solid Edge? The info reported includes:

* Mass, volume and density
* File size and type
* Creation date and time
* Login name of the last editor


Another part of the update adds a pop-up that reports the name of the Intelligent Function key command activated.

[Disclosure: I was one of those many bloggers who got the free 3D mouse earlier in the year, but unlike most others, I never got around to writing about it.]
