Logitech Mousewheel Scroll Zoom Problem in AC10?

[Anonymous]

I am having a terrible time with Scroll ZOom on my Logitech Mice since I started using AC10.
Using Logitech Setpoint 2.60 and Driver.
Scrolls and Pans at the same time, bogs down and software freezes while the pan/ zoom battle it out (10- 20 seconds). If I remove the driver works great.
With the driver installed works great in AC9.

Anyone else?

Considering switching to microsoft mouse as scroll-zoom feature is absolutely unusable for me right now.

Thanks

Never mind. Once you right click and exit the setpoint settings, you loose all custom button functions until you reopen setpoint. Then your back to square one.

And the problem with getting a MS mouse is there is not many custom buttons!

And so the only way I have found so far, is to hold down Ctrl while you zoom with the wheel. Not too bad of a work around, I guess. At least I can keep my "middle button".

i figured that out after i'd posted above: exiting 'setpoint' simply sends you back to the default, plain ol' vanilla generic mouse driver. perfect. now would you windows users kindly point a mac-head in the direction of the startup items settings so i can switch it off altogether. or do i actually have to uninstall it?!

Wow, I wish I'd read this a few days ago...before I spent my heard earned on a top quality logitech mouse.....
Has anyone found a real workaround yet at all ?

I have been using MX1000 for over a year now and unfortunately have had to resort to resort to the same fix.

Unfortunately Ctrl is a modifier which means that zooming is slowed down, for more precision I guess.

I have contacted Logitech and asked them why the setpoint software doesn't allow for different settings with different programs, as many gaming device drivers do, their products being promoted as gaming devices. Their response was that at this point they did not have enough demand for such functionality and therefore were not considering it.

Strangely enough I have a Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard, with 18 programmable macro keys, and its software is fully aware of which program I am using and switches the keyboard functions on the fly between programs.

To Graphisoft: If there is a global switch for the mouse scroll wheel that can be turned off within the software, it would be greatly appreciated by many if it was able to be turned on and off within the preferences.

I contacted with Logitech too, but so far there is no enough demand from our community. Other solution is to turn off the SetPoint software, but ... we are loosing access to other buttons settings (not good).

I just bought a new machine for home with Logitech mouse and keyboard using Setpoint software.
I set the scroll wheel to "Middle button" as mentioned in earlier post here (but I didn't turn the software off).

It allowed me to pan/scroll and zoom but at first the zoom would scroll a little at the same time.
But now it seems to be zooming just fine with no extra scroll.

I haven't tested it much as I have only just set the machine up.
I'll check it out again but won't be able to report back here until the week after next.

I switched to a microsoft mouse (intellimouse 2.0) for a while and it worked well. No driver problems. Heavy and a bit big w/ stiff middle click.

But, I have switched back to my Logitech G5 as I love the feel of it and it is very light (slides much easier) when you don't put any of the included weights in it. It makes my work easier aside from the scroll zoom thing. I am still using control key to modifie and it does zoom slower then....

Sorry, took a while to get back.
Zooming and scrolling work fine in Archicad V8.1 and in the 3D view of V10.
But in V10 2D view the zoom still scrolls at the same time.
I can't make it zoom in to a specific point with the middle scroll wheel.
But the zoom in and out buttons on the side of the mouse work fine.
Just need to remember to use them (old habbits die hard!) and they are in the most user freindly position.

I've got a Logitech Gaming Mouse (nice in every other way, I threw away all the extra weights) that has the opposite problem: it zooms when it shouldn't. When I Pan by cllick-holding the scroll wheel and dragging, it zooms as well. This didn't happen with the Microsoft mouse I used before (may it rest in peace).

This sounds like it's a Graphisoft issue, not a Logitech issue.

So Graphisoft - are you going to look into it? I wonder if you would have the same trouble with Revit?
