carpalmer Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 pls review and reply side scrolling posting (copied below) Got upgrade and the sideways scrolling feature of my sideways tilting scroll wheel(zooms in and out if I roll wheel, scrolls sideways if I tilt it)does not work. I have a Logitech laser mouse and the sideways scrolling is a great feature I use CONSTANTLY to move / pan my drawing. I've downloaded latest drives from Logitech, I was told by phone tech that VW 2008 might not support this! Please let me know how to get this feature back since it plays a major role in my workflow. thx carpalmer Quote Link to comment

panthony Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Carpalmer, If you have the ability with your Logitech mouse to control the buttons to individual programs set the side scroll wheel buttons to "key assignment" of the left and right arrows respectively. This a work around until VW supports the function. Pete Quote Link to comment
carpalmer Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 YES, Katie, I used it constantly (VW 12.5.1) as I said this was a great feature in the mouse, and allowed me to easily move through drawing with one hand mouse movements only, no cumbersome two handed manouvers required! Please follow up and let me know how I get it back. Thx panthony, that's a good tip, but is a coarse work-around since cannot adjust amount / speed of scrolling. carpalmer Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 If it worked in 12, it should work in 2008. It sounds like a setting is not set properly either in the mouse settings or somewhere else. Between using it in VW 12 and now, did you change any settings? I know after updating drivers, devices usually default back to original manufacture settings. You may have to do as Pete says and change a setting or two in the mouse device application.

boxjoint Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Speaking of mice, I have recently gotten the Apple Mighty Mouse. However, while the scroll wheel works very well with other apps, it does not work so well with VW 12.5.2. With the mouse set to zoom via the scroll wheel, things zoom at a frenetic pace, almost uncontrollable. Because it's so sensitive, when you press the scroll wheel to drag the drawing, it zooms in and out when you don't want it to. Resetting the mouse settings each time I want to use VW is not a good option. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
wezelboy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) I have the same kind of logitech mouse on a mac, and updating to the latest logitech driver will definitely wipe out any preferences you had previously. Edited September 20, 2007 by wezelboy Quote Link to comment

Administrator Pharr Posted September 22, 2007 Administrator Share Posted September 22, 2007 We will look into this. Do you have a specific mouse model number or name which supports the side scrolling? Are you on Mac or Win? OS? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
carpalmer Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Pharr: thanks, mouse is Logitech MX?1000 Laser Cordless Mouse XP Pro Looking forward to your news, carpalmer Quote Link to comment
Jeffrey W Ouellette Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I am using a Logitech wireless Laser mouse on my MacBook Pro notebook. In order for it to work properly, I have uninstalled the Logitech software. When doing some research after first installing the software and observing strange and disconcerting behaviour, I found that generally, most people advised removing Logitech's software and just using the OS settings. The feeling was that Logitech's drivers weren't particularily stable or friendly to either the Mac or XP OSes. Quote Link to comment
SAR Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I had the same mouse horizontal scrolling issue and found that after I turned on the scroll bars in preferences I was able to use use the tilt wheel normally. Steve Quote Link to comment

carpalmer Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 thanks sross, that did it! lost 1/4" on the bottom of my monitor, but side scrolling works... carpalmer Quote Link to comment
Administrator Pharr Posted September 26, 2007 Administrator Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is in our bug tracking system for verification, but since you now have a temporary solution, can you tell me if VW 12.x requires scroll bars to be on for this mouse to side scroll properly? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
SAR Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I checked back in 12.5.2 and when I turned the scroll bars off, the tilt wheel stopped side scrolling. Steve Quote Link to comment
