Mouse Orbit and Pan
-
I have been using Sketchup Ver 6 for about a year. When creating a design I really like to be able to click on the scroll wheel on the mouse to orbit and then shift-click for pan.
I just installed Sketchup Ver 7 on a new pc (WinXP) and the click or shift-click on the scroll wheel doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?

I don't know why it doesn't work for you, but I always just left-click + scroll click to pan...

Not sure why it would change on you from 6 to 7, but I had to apply program specific setting to my mouse in the windows control panel to get the center wheel to orbit and pan.

Well now, that was helpful. I'm using a Logitech cordless mouse and what I did was set the scroll wheel to "Generic Button" and now it works fine.
Thanks so much!!!!

Glad that did the trick for you. Happy sketching!

on the Microsoft Mouse 4000 (or other blue track mice) you need to set the wheel button to "middle click" and also use a top to front push on the wheel button to make it work in orbit mode. straight down or front to back push won't work reliably since the new devices are "game ready". once you get used to the new push action with your finger it all works as expected.
