3-button Mouse in SW
3-button Mouse in SW
(OP)
I have a co-worker that hase his 3-button mouse set-up for Double Click. This works in every program he has except for SW.
Has anyone been able to set-up a mouse for Double-clicking in SW? It is an older Logitec MouseMan. Are we missing something in the SW options?

RE: 3-button Mouse in SW
Don't know if this will make a difference, but Have you "Disabled Acceleration in games" for this mouse?
If it's the RMB I don't think a double click will work for that button in SW.

I have a 3 button Logitech button here and I love it.
What is supposed to happen when I double click the middle button?

RE: 3-button Mouse in SW
I believe that is called Key Mapping. I haven't tried it.
On my system, the middle mouse button is used by SolidWorks for rotating, panning and zooming. It all depends on what I do with the shift and Ctrl keys. I find this extremely convenient. I am frustrated when I use a different computer and the middle click is intercepted for something else.
If you show this feature to your co-worker, he will want to continue double clicking with the left button.

I use driver version 9.79
If I change my middle mouse button to Double-Click and keep "Disable Acceleration in games" unchecked. The middle mouse button when pushed still only Rotates the part.
If I change my middle mouse button to Double-Click and Check mark "Disable Acceleration in games". The Mouse moves verrrrrrrrry slow across SW (only in SW, in windows the mouse moves fine). This is a bug IMO, but it's been here for many driver versions of Logitech mouse drivers. But still when the middle mouse button is pushed the part simply Rotates.
So I don't think the Double click is going to work in SW. Maybe there is a way to set it up as a Macro? Personally I would get a 5 button mouse (MS intellimouse Optical) and program the other buttons to a double click. I have one like this for my Laptop and I love it. I don't use the 2 extra buttons for double click. I use them as back and foward in browser when surfing the web.

For panning, zooming and manipulating parts in an ass'y, I use a Cadman. This device (or similar) will pay for itself in no time and eliminates a lot of clicking.

This will allow you to choose to keep acceleration settings and button assignments if you so desire. I like (middle button) double-click for getting to the sketch info of a feature. I'm morally opposed to double-clicking.

Just a thought?
