ReMark Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Have you tried the ZOOMWHEEL and MBUTTONPAN commands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodude Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 yes both are set to 1 the zoom works but not the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Did you try closing down AutoCAD then reopening it? Have you tried resetting your Profile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneel Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Tried scrolling in a different application? Maybe you were in a state of blind rage when AC crashed and threw your mouse across the room by swinging it round by the cable like a nun-chuck and releasing it, causing it to fly 40m out the window, whilst screaming and grunting like an olympic German shotput thrower. But when it landed, it landed on the scroll wheel and broke it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneel Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Actually scrap that. You probably would've noticed when you posted on this website if the scroller had broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodude Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Barneel you are a telepath! Yep I did flip the mouse but I don't think it's broke it scrolls here OK. Remark I restarted Acad and my profile still no joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurodude Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Cheers Remark. My back to back now has a scrollwheel problem..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Would you happen to be using a USB mouse by any chance? BTW...what mouse are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodude Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yep it's a Dell USB mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Did you try another USB port? Most desktop computers have at least 2 or 3 on the back and some even have a couple on the front. Most laptops have at least two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelancon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just a suggestion; Go to your mouse settings (usually in Control Panel) and make sure the mouse wheel click function is set to act as a middle button function. LMK Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelancon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If using SetPoint, assign the middle wheel button as "Generic Button". If using Microsoft Mouse, assign the middle wheel button to "Middle-Click (default)" Hope this works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmelancon Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 If neither of my suggestions work, try assigning you middle wheel button to "AutoScroll" via your mouse settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 It's been a week since Eurodude came to us with his problem and we haven't heard from him since. Either he found a solution or he gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
