CLICK and HOLD and gO nUtZ.....
CLICK and HOLD and gO nUtZ.....
(OP)
When I am working in a sketch in SolidWorks 2004 and I am drawing anything such as a line or circle, if I click once and then move my mouse and click again I complete the operation. OR if I click and HOLD the mouse button, move the mouse and then let go it also completes the operation. The problem is if I click the mouse button and slightly move the mouse while I am letting up on the button I get a very small circle or line segment. Then I have to delete this small entity and do the operation again. Is there *ANY* way to turn off the hold feature so the ONLY way it creates an entity is if I click the mouse button to start the sketch operation and then click it again to finish???? This click and hold is driving me cRaZy.

I always hold down the mouse. I pick the point and drag a circle to a crazy distance then RMB\Dimension and add a dim to the sketch.
Quick and easy.
You should look at getting a trackball. That will save your wrist. I have been using mine for years and love it. My wrist doesn't bother me anymore.
I have this trackball but and older version - They look the same just mine is for bigger hands.

In brief - if you move the cursor off the end of the first line then back while holding down the mouse button, you get a tangent arc next time instead of a line. The preview indicates this. In your special circumstances I understand the mouse sensitivity problem.
HOWEVER!!!! There is a fix. If you get a arc preview, just hit the "A" key to toggle back to a line. (In fact you can toggle both ways.)

But what I'm saying here is get the trackballs they will help your mouse hand.

How about a voice recognition system for your PC depending on circumstances of course? (Don't want your cubie neighbors to lynch you!)

It doesn't take that long to learn either - I had to start doing this when I developed someting like tennis elbow from too much mouse work. Never looked back
Good Luck
RE: CLICK and HOLD and gO nUtZ.....
The Voice regonition is a great idea though... I might have to look into that. I don't have any cubical neighbors to worry about. I work all by myself without anyone bothering me. I would be hard for me to go to a different job where I have to share space and worry about my cubicle friends. So I don't plan on changing for a while!
Thanks for the ideas!
