3Dconnexion Numpad Pro Manual

QuickStart Guide

Desktop Setup

Place the Numpad Pro to suit your preferences and tasks. For a natural and ergonomic posture, it is recommended to place it at the opposite side of your CadMouse.

Installation

Installation involves three steps:

1. Turn on the Numpad Pro: Use the power switch located on the right rear side of the Numpad.
2. Pair with Computer: Ensure your computer's Bluetooth module is turned on and pair the Numpad with your computer.
3. Download and install the latest software package: Ensure you have the latest 3Dconnexion software installed. The latest version can be downloaded at 3dconnexion.com/drivers.

Feature Guide

3Dconnexion Keys

The Numpad Pro features four additional programmable function keys, located above the standard keys. It instantly recognizes the applications you are using and their environments, automatically assigning the most used commands to these keys. Note: The 3Dconnexion driver (3DxWare) is required for the 3Dconnexion Keys to function.

On-Screen Display (OSD)

After installing the driver, the OSD for the Numpad Pro is hidden by default. To enable it, open 3Dconnexion Settings, select the Numpad Pro, click on 'Buttons', and activate the 'Always show On-Screen Display' checkbox.

Globally Programmable Keys

In addition to the 3Dconnexion Keys, your Numpad Pro provides five Globally Programmable Keys. Their function remains the same system-wide, regardless of the application you are currently working in. They can be easily customized within 3Dconnexion Settings.

Decimal Separator

You can specify the Decimal Separator for your Numpad Pro as either a point or a comma, to suit your preference in each application, within 3Dconnexion Settings.

Status LED, Charging, and Connectivity

Status LED

The Numpad Pro features a status LED that indicates the battery status and connection status.

Battery status:

• Green: The Numpad Pro is sufficiently charged.
• Red: The Numpad Pro has less than 10% charge and requires charging.

Pairing and connection status:

• White (steady): Successfully connected in 3Dconnexion wireless mode.
• White (pulsing): Ready for 3Dconnexion wireless connection.
• Blue (steady): Successfully connected in Bluetooth mode.
• Blue (pulsing): Ready for Bluetooth connection.

After the device has been successfully connected, the LED turns off.

Charge your Numpad Pro

Connect your Numpad Pro to a charging port on your computer using the included USB cable. While charging, the status LED will flash green and turn solid green when fully charged.

Connect your Numpad Pro

The Numpad Pro can be connected via Bluetooth® (Swift Pair included), the Keyboard Pro, or USB cable. The wireless connection of your Numpad Pro is always encrypted to ensure the security of your data.

To pair via Bluetooth: Turn on the device; the status LED will start flashing blue. Ensure your PC's Bluetooth is active and in discover mode. Select your device from the list of available devices and pair it to your PC. For simplified Bluetooth® Swift Pair, ensure your computer's Bluetooth module is turned on and the Numpad is close to it when switched on. Then, enter the displayed code on your Numpad and confirm with Enter to complete the pairing.

3Dconnexion Settings

Access the 3Dconnexion Settings panel via 3Dconnexion Home (on your desktop), the icon in your notification area (systray), or the Windows start menu. The name of the active application is displayed at the top of the panel. Any setting change is relevant to this application only. If multiple 3Dconnexion devices are connected, you can select the desired product to configure by clicking on the flyout button at the top left of the panel.

Advanced Settings

Settings configured in the Advanced Settings panel are not application-specific but are the same for all applications system-wide.

Key Configuration

Click the '>' arrow on the right-hand side of the key field to open a flyout window, which allows you to assign commands, macros, or radial menus to the keys.

Buttons

The Buttons panel within 3Dconnexion Settings allows you to assign commands, macros, or radial menus to the programmable 3Dconnexion Keys, which are placed on top of your Numpad. The name of the active application is displayed at the top of the panel. Any setting change is relevant to this application only. While you are working in an application, the On-Screen Display always shows you the current assignment of the keys for this app. Uncheck 'Always show On-Screen Display' to hide the OSD.

Note on Environment Sensitivity: Some applications feature environment-sensitive key mapping. In those applications, you can have different key assignments depending on the current active environment.

Decimal Separator

You can decide whether the decimal separator is automatically selected based on the system settings or whether you manually choose the Comma or Dot setting for a certain application.

Creating Macros and Radial Menus

Assigning Quick Macros to buttons

Click on the text in the key field and press the required key or key combination to quickly assign a keystroke or macro to a 3Dconnexion Key. When a macro is created, it always sends a press and release command. If you want to assign a press-and-hold command instead (e.g., Ctrl or Shift), you should use the Keyboard command category in the flyout window.

Assigning Commands using the flyout window

Clicking the '>' arrow on the right-hand side of the key field opens a flyout window for that Numpad key. The category of the command that it is currently assigned to is highlighted in bold. The flyout window allows you to browse or search for commands in different categories such as 3Dconnexion or application commands. When you select a command by clicking on it, it is automatically assigned to the Numpad key.

Creating Macros

First click the '>' arrow on the right-hand side of the key field, then expand the Macro category and click on 'New Macro'. This opens the macro editor where you can assign a name for your macro and a sequence of keystrokes in the corresponding fields. Clicking on 'Save' will automatically assign the new macro to the button from where you opened the panel.

Creating Radial Menus

First click the '>' arrow on the right-hand side of the key field, then expand the Radial Menu category and click on 'New Radial Menu'. This brings up the radial menu editor where you can assign a name and commands to the different sections. Your new radial menu will be automatically assigned to the key from where you opened the panel.
