Middle Mouse Button Deletes

Middle Mouse Button Deletes

Middle Mouse Button Deletes

(OP)
Hi,

For some reason, when I use the middle button of my mouse whilst in SolidWorks, it tends to randomly delete things from whatever I am working on (components, sketches, lines, etc.). It also works to rotate the view, which is what I use it for, however I am starting to not use it in fear of deleting something.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to turn it off?

Cheers.

Try deleting and reinstalling new mouse driver.

RE: Middle Mouse Button Deletes

Probably the mouse itself.  My mouse at home has started doing the same thing randomly.  Even drag and drop is affected.  If I pound the buttons hard they still work though.  Swap out the mouse and see if it's better.
