Middle mouse button won't Pan

[powder_special_900]

i just bought a logitech LX7 wireless optical mouse and while using autocad when u press the middle mouse button it wont pan. I have the middle button set to "autoscroll" and the mbuttonpan set to 1. Ive tried setting the middle button to "none" and also to "universalscroll" as well as switch the mbuttonpan to 0 but nothing seems to change it. Its stuck on just moving left to right and up and down, not panning. Does anyone know how i can get it to pan??

Hi,

I've had success going to control panel/mouse, and assigning the wheel button (middle button) to "middle button" (where you have tried "none" and "universalscroll") on the buttons tab. You might give it a shot.

I hope this helps,

Yes, on the newest Logitech software that is the correct setting, "Middle Button" for panning. On slightly older ones it was setting it to "universal scroll" and checking the box for use as MS Office compatible.

Mbuttonpan must also be set to (1).

Set Scroll wheel (forget Autoscroll, and Universal Scroll), to "Other" and then set it to "Middle Button". That will allow you to use it to pan when the wheel is depressed and zoom when the wheel is rotated.

Let us know if that did the trick

hi guys,

i just read your advices- perfect- its working, finally i am happy with my mouse

Thanks so much guys!

Just got me a Logitech Trackman Wheel, and now the pan works perfectly in AutoCad with the scroll wheel. Setting the middle button as "click" does the trick. It still scrolls normally on web pages and zooms in AutoCad.

Today is the first time I've ever had an issue with this topic in over 4 years using a Logitech Mouse MX610.
(That I couldn't figure out from Setpoint, or the control panel, etc.).

Mbuttonpan must also be set to (1).

This tip here (above)... Did the trick!

It is now part of my custom startup, I can't thank you enough!

(if
  (= 0 (getvar "mbuttonpan"))          ; If mbuttonpan is not turned off, 
  (setvar "mbuttonpan" 1))             ; Then turn it on.

The long-standing problem is solved.

Sorry to be a wet blanket on this thread but I never use the middle button for panning - there are the slider bars or the hand tool for that.

I find the middle button much more useful for selecting which Osnap mode to use for whichever command I happen to be using. It saves having loads of Osnap modes permanently active and flashing symbols at me all the time.
