muzicman82 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hello, I just thought of something that would be really cool if it were possible. I use a mouse all the time for CAD on my laptop. It's a Dell Precisiom M6500 so it is "designed" for CAD and other production work. I would like to set it up so that any time I drag on the touchpad, it pans around the drawing. Essentially just one finger scroll. Maybe pinch to zoom in and out would be cool too. This should work without clicking. I already have the middle button on my mouse for press and hold to pan, but I like options... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I believe your touchpad would have to support application specific settings in order to pan/zoom AutoCAD without any other input. The touchpad should already pan when depressing the middle mouse button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman82 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 It does, and has a middle mouse button, but I was trying to set it up to not need to press anything... Dell does have a "Shuttle/Jog" mode for this touchpad. I'll see if it can do anything there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
