Mouse Wheel Worries

[zeuseason]

Has anyone experienced their mouse wheel acting funny? I'm extremely dependent on the wheel using it for zooming in/out and panning. For some reason when I try to zoom in/out it will change from a zoom option to a scroll option! Why is this?? It is very inconsistent because a fresh AutoCAD session works wonderfully from the start but after a few seconds, the scrolling kicks in and I can't zoom with the wheel!

If it changes after awhile, maybe there is a lisp routine or something else that is changing the mouse settings. Try the below routine out:

 ;|			midbutton.lsp
      		Enter mb at command line to toggle
     		middle button from osnap menu to pan
|;

(defun C:mb ()
  (if (= (getvar "mbuttonpan") 0)
    (progn
      (setvar "mbuttonpan" 1)
      (prompt "\nMiddle Button set to Pan.")
    )					;progn 
    (progn
      (setvar "mbuttonpan" 0)
      (prompt "\nMiddle Button set to Osnap Menu.")
    )					;progn 
  )					;if 
  (princ)
)					;defun 
(prompt "To use, enter mb at the command line.")
(princ)

If this routine doesn't help, then you have to change the mouse settings in the Control Panel > Mouse.

Have you installed a Logitech mouse? Logitech software prevents the zoom/pan mousewheel option from working.
Uninstall the Logitech software and all will be well. To date, I have lost no mouse functionality as a result of doing this.

That is what it appears to be so far. I've disabled Intellipoint software for AutoCAD and so far so good! I just have to keep my fingers crossed because it happens randomly. Thanks for the input!
