ISTEWART Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi, just upgraded to VW 12 on Mac g5 dual and am not able to use the pan function with the wheel mouse I am using (microsoft optical blue wireless 5.1). Can someone recommend a mouse which will allow full functionalty of these new and excellent software features? Many thanks, Ian Quote Link to comment
RubenH Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Shift+scroll=Horizontal pan Option+scroll=Vertical pan hope it works. Quote Link to comment
Christiaan Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Does VW 12 support Apple's new multi-directional mouse scroll? i.e. can you use it to pan diagonally in VW? Quote Link to comment
JHEarcht Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Other options: 1) Use arrow keys <^> to move screen to right, left, up or down in half-screen steps. 2) During a draw operation, hold spacebar and cursor becomes a pan tool, release and you go back to the original function. Sometimes these are quicker and easier than mouse panning or scrolling. Quote Link to comment

Can't believe I asked that question, considering the initial post. I need a holiday. Quote Link to comment
LEAFS Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I am having the same problems with a Logitech MX510 mouse. Just loaded VW12 and then I try to use the pan within the scroll wheel and nothing happens. I have even erased my preferences to Logitech in the Library and re loaded my driver for the mouse and still nothing. Quote Link to comment
Ken Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think dragging the screen with space bar depressed is much more natural -- like pulling a physical sheet of drawing paper closer to you. Quote Link to comment
Tom K Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I purchased a logitech wheel mouse. I found that if I used the default Mac driver the pan function worked. If I used the logitech driver the pan function did not work (I mean the pan function where you only have to depress the wheel mouse). Also why would I want to have to depress the spacebar in order to pan? If I did then I would have to put down my coke in order to free up my left hand. Quote Link to comment
DDDesign Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Also why would I want to have to depress the spacebar in order to pan? If I did then I would have to put down my coke in order to free up my left hand. If you have a mulit-button mouse, program one of your buttons to activate the space bar. That way, with the combination of left click and spacebar-button, you can pan in the the most direct way - and still only use one hand. Quote Link to comment
Jacques Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi All, I have found that you need to uninstall all the mouse driver software supplied by the manufacturer and use OS X's built in mouse driver. Also remember to trash your mouse driver software '.plist' file in your preferences directory. Your middle mouse button should work for panning and zooming. -Jacques Quote Link to comment
