Is there anybody who has succeded in using a MX900 Logitch Bluetooth together with ArchiCAD 8.1 R2?
The scrollwheel seems to be without the pan/zoom function- any ideas?

Working with it perfectly on my Powerbook, don't know what could be the problem without knowing more info about your system.

All installations (8 in all) run Windows XP or 2000.
The problem is similar to earlier posts regarding Logitech optical cordless mice - the pan function of the scrollwheel is not functionning. This problem seemed to be solved if the "MS-office functions" was checked (Why?) but the MS-Office option is not present in the combos of the MX900.

In my experience with Logitechs on Win the normal problem are the drivers in window. If I remember correctly the last time i had that problem one of the solutions was to not use Logitechs drivers but let the system choose a MS driver and see what happens
If you cannot use pan in AC have you tried in another program that supports that type of pan (SketchUp, AutoCAD,etc). If it doesnot work on them then it is a MS driver problem not AC's.

I have found on both Macs and PCs when using two button scroll wheel mice (of many kinds) the best way is just to let the system take care of it (no special drivers). Of course if your mouse has more buttons this is not an option (AFAIK).
