This might sound like an outrageously dumb question but does anyone know how to setup their mouse so that while the holding down the middle mouse button or scroll wheel when using SolidWorks allows for rotating the part or assembly file?

For the longest time I always assumed that was the default behavior of the MMB/scroll wheel in SW. However I was upgraded to a new workstation recently and since then my MMB executes the pan view action instead of rotate view (which I personally have always found to be of more practical benefit). I've tried messing with different Windows mouse settings but haven't had any luck as yet.

One obvious remedy would be to setup up a keyboard shortcut in SW which I could live with but I'm interested to hear if anyone has had similar experience(s). Any thoughts or ideas would be most appreciated.
