    • RE: Mouse on a Mac (orbiting)

      Hello Jeff,

      Thanks for reply.
      I found the problem. The middle click was assigned at system preferences to open Dashboard.
      Only disable that shortcut to Dashboard and middle click orbit worked fine.

      But this control-command-left click is very good. Don't need to switch to orbit.
      Worked on SKP (Mac OS) but not on SKP (Win 7 via Bootcamp).
      I don't know if SKP (Windows Version) has a shortcut equivalent. I will try to find anything like this for Windows version.

      On BetterTouchTool i didn't found an option to assign all this things (control+comand+left click).
      It's ok, because middle click worked now.

      But the most important that i saw:
      Magic Mouse is very bad to work with SketchUp! Not accurate and middle click does not work well.
      Sometimes work, sometimes doesn't.

      The touch functions is very good when working on Apple's sofware, but with Sketchup doesn't.
      I will change for another mouse.
      I can work with a button mouse and with trackpad to multitouch gestures... i think is the best choose.

      Sorry about my english.

      Thank you very much!

      hey Fabio..

      i don't have (or ever had) a magic mouse so i'm not sure how much help i can be but something to try is assigning middle click to:

      control-command-left mouse button

      that's a shortcut for orbiting that google doesn't seem to document anymore.. (it's different then the default 'O' for orbit which switches to the orbit tool…).. this is how i work when using only my trackpad when drawing on a laptop..

      so first, try orbiting by holding the control and command keys then left mouse button.. that should work… then try assigning that combo in bettertouchtool.. that should work too ?

      as far as bootcamp.. uh.. i really don't know.. but i assume there's a windows equivalent of ^⌘LMB for orbiting?

    • RE: Mouse on a Mac (orbiting)

      I have a magic mouse.
      I use Mac OS and Windows 7 (BootCamp).

      I work with SketchUp and need the wheel click for orbit.

      Anyone can tell how can i config the BetterTouchTool??

      Because i try MagicPrefs and BetterTouchTool, but when i click
      on middle mouse button (center surface of Magic Mouse, since it does not have buttons 💚 )
      the screen rolls to page with Widgets (Don't know the name).
      Gesture: Single finger middle click > Assigned: Middleclick.
      Doe anyone can tell me witch option is correct to assign?

      And with Windows OS (via BootCamp), anyone know how can i activate middle button of Magic Mouse?
      Right and Left CLick and Zoom works ok. But don't have middle click for orbit.

      If i can't get work middle click of Magic Mouse on Mac OS and Windows via Bootcamp, i will
      give up and sell this MagicMouse. And work with a traditional mouse.

      Thanks for your help! 👍
