2007 - Shift + Rollerwheel on mouse..

[basepointdesignz]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to disable the ability to 3D Orbit using SHIFT + Rollerwheel on the mouse? In earlier versions, holding shift and using the rollerwheel on the mouse used to simply pan orthagonally, which was great for panning through viewports to another section of the model drawing, but in 2007 all it does is 3D Orbit..

Cheers,

Paul @ basepointdesignzltd..

I'm not clear, but maybe try Tools/Options/(Display tab) Window Elements/select box Display scrill bars in drawing window ??

No, that isn't what i'm looking for really, i need the pan command, which can usually be configured or its defaulted or something to the roller wheel on the mouse..

In ACAD 2006, and some previous, you could hold shift and the centre wheel down and pan in straight lines, so if you wanted to line things up in a viewport or whatever, but in 2007, you can still do this but unless you hold the roller wheel first (without moving the mouse) and then press shift before dragging the mouse about it does a transparent orbit instead - which when you have a big file and all you want to do is just copy a viewport across and then inside that viewport, pan across in a straight line to another elevation or part of the drawing and its just 3D orbits round all the damn time, it gets seriously frustrating..

I have removed the shortcut from the mouse commands in the interface config but this has also taken out the pan command, so its kinda annoying cos i can't have my cake and eat it, lol

Not sure if this will help or not, but try the Set Variable command of MBUTTON and either set it on or off. This may help the pan feature as alot of our users complained also. I think what I had to check on also was the setting on the mouse properties to make that button program specific.

You will need to goto your cui (type cui in command prompt) and click the plus sign on mouse button, proceed to click on the plus sign of shft+click, highlight and right click Button 3: Transparent Orbit proceed to remove or delete.

You can always replace this by drag and dropping the Transparent orbit command onto shift+click. I hope this helps.

xwire,
MBUTTONPAN is not what i need, cos i still want to be able to pan around using that button, just want to be able to pan in straight lines by holding shift, but thanks anyway for the reply

infoseeker107,
i've already done that but removing the transparent orbit works, but it also means i can't hold shift and pan, i can only pan normally. what i really need is maybe to replace the transparent orbit command with ortho pan, if such a command or whatever exists..

I will go ask the designers here, someone has to know back there.

You can still do the pan with the ortho lock in 2007.

Instead of hitting Shift+middle mouse button (3dorbit) you have to hit middle mouse button first to initiate the pan command and then hold the shift key before you move.

It locks into orthomode automatically.
