The Scroll Wheel button on my mouse will not PAN
MBUTTONPAN = 0 - Sets the action defined in the CUI file. (The default action for this setting is the OSNAP types short-cut menu appearing beside the cursor). MBUTTONPAN = 1 - Sets the action to PAN (over-riding the CUI setting) With this setting, when the scroll wheel/middle mouse button is held down and the mouse is moved, the drawing will pan to wherever the mouse is moved to. When the scroll wheel/middle mouse button is double clicked the drawing will ZOOM EXTENTS. |

Apart from the mbuttonpan command, you should also check your mouse driver. Some drivers force scrolling in every program. This overrides AutoCAD's mbuttonpan command. Try switching the driver to a generic Windows driver, or check that your existing driver does not force universal scrolling. (Under consideration for inclusion - Tiger) -

I have a new wireless mouse and I had the same problem with panning. I changed the wheel click function in the mouse properties to autoscroll or middle-click and it worked for me. -
