Enabling Panning function using mouse scroll button....

[Anonymous]

Can't seem to pan when I click down the mouse scroll button.....
Any suggestions will be appreciated...
Using XP pro and ArchiCAD 9.

Thanks in advanced.

There are two possibilities I can think of:

1. Check the mouse settings in your control panel to see if the scroll button has been set to "middle button"

2. In your Work Environment, check that the middle button is set to control Pan

Hope this helps.

Help! There's something wrong with the system. I kept getting error messages when posting my reply - so I tried again. And again. And again. Now, to my horror, I find that the post has been added. FOUR TIMES!

Would one of the moderators please remove the extra posts? Thanks in advance.

This may seem like a dumb question....but I can't find it.....Where exactly in the Work Environment could you find this option?

FYI you can delete your own posts if this happens, before someone adds another comment after it.

Stuart, there was something wrong with the system at the time and I was locked out of it. Good to see it up and running again.

You're right, Junior; it doesn't exist. My mistake. In fact, there seem to be no mouse options whatsoever. Sorry about the confusion.

The pan function defaults to the middle mouse button so, in the control panel, one just has to set the scroller click to act as "middle button" (if that's not the default already).

In the days when I used AutoCad, I had a 6-button mouse and assigned frequently used commands to the extra buttons - something I found quite useful. Doing it was a round-about process, but it was possible.
Question: is a mouse with more than 3 buttons wasted in AC?

Well thanks for clarifying. Wish I knew why my scroll panning won't function.

As for your question Vistasp, my friend has a mouse with more than 3 buttons and is able to assign common commands to each and every button......so its definitely not wasted I'll try to ask him later today about my main question....

Not wasted, an absolute bonus.
I have 7 actions assigned.
