Great!

Ok, so next question: How does one assign the extra buttons if there's no option in the Work Environment?

vistasp, I see you are with the "dark side"

You do not have any setting in the WE, it is a matter of what type of mouse driver you use.
There are a number of very good 3rd party apps available for Mac.

Have used various rodents over the years, and always return to my faithful Kensington.

Suggest you Google for type of mouse you presently use.
Maybe somebody from the "dark side" will chime in.

Yep, that I am! Have been stuck with the evil empire since DOS 3.something

My mouse (it's made by M$... horrors!) allows me to configure its buttons separately for individual programs. However, I was thinking more along the lines of specific AC commands. I guess that's not possible. Yet!

Yes you can vistasp, if you look at the top and bottom button actions
in my pic, they are mapped to my shortcuts created in my WE.

I have these set differently in other apps.

The "dark side" isn't that bad
Anyways...
I talked it over with my friend, and it's just as what you guys have mentioned awhile ago....the settings have to be set using the mouse's control panel. Depending on the type of mouse one has, this process may differ, but should be able to configure it accordingly to allow for panning in ArchiCAD using the scroll 'click'.

Thanks for all the input people. The Force is strong in this Forum.

Whoa! Missed that. Thanks for pointing the way, Rod. I've found this small utility called "X-mouse button control" which works on XP/Vista and allows you to send a custom keystoke sequence to specific applications.
