Hope someone can help - I use Inventor 6 in the office and the mouse (Dell by Microsoft) is set up such that the middle wheel zooms in and out when rolled and pans when the wheel is depressed. The mouse (Dell by Logitech) on my home system does not work the same way - when the wheel is depressed and the mouse is moved, the zoom function is invoked. How could I get my home mouse to work the same as my office mouse?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Go to control panel/Mouse. This should bring up a properties box on the mouse and there should be a tab for teh wheel. There you should be able to change how the wheel acts and get it to act the way you want. I am using an optical trackball that allows me to program all 5 buttons anyway I want... including the wheel.

If that doesn't work...then I'm at a loss.
