scroll wheel button help

(OP)
I just installed SP3 and now when I am in a drawing and I press down on the scroll wheel, it scrolls. I want it to pan. It used to pan, I think a little white hand came up, and grab where you clicked then draged it when you moved your mouse.

I can't find this in solidworks anywhere. Thanks!!

RE: scroll wheel button help

Did you make sure that your mouse properties calls out the scroll wheel as the middle button?

mouse properties in solidworks or windows?

I read the help file in solidworks and that was very unhelpful. It says you can do this, you can do that, but it doesn't tell you where that is.

Its all messed up. If I don't figure it out in an hr, back to sp0 I go

RE: scroll wheel button help

Windows - SW doesn't have mouse proeprties in it. SW just uses what window provides it.

Try updating the mouse driver or reinstalling you old drivers.
