      I have used Sketchup reasonably successfully for some time now. I design on a Mac. Recently my old scroll wheel mouse packed it in, so I've just enabled the Apple mouse that came with my machine. Everything works fine, except: With the old mouse, I could move the drawing around the screen by holding down the wheel and and the shift key and moving the mouse around. With the new mouse (no wheel) I can't find any combination of commands which lets me move the drawing around. Regardless of what key I hold down, when I press down on the mouse, all I get is a bounding box. Does anyone know the fix for this?

        you'll have to use the shortcut keys O for orbit and H for pan only way I know that's why I opted for a cheap Logitech with scroll wheel

            Maybe just get a wheel mouse, which also has option for push down (and possibly side to side) for the wheel. If needed use a third party driver to fine tune your mouse settings. I use Razer mice and SteerMouse driver.
