mouse scroll

Post by Pietro.Pezzi »

a tip:
is it possible to make the mouse wheel do two functions:
scroll = zoom + or zoom -
click and hold = pan
in the style of software such as "autocad" bricscad and many others CAD software?

thank you very much for the attention

Hi Pietro,

thanks for the post. You can indeed make the mouse wheel zoom by holding the Control button (CTRL) while rolling the wheel.

Also if you have a wheel that can be clicked, then the default middle mouse click does allow you to pan and scroll:

Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks for the reply;
I know that holding down the ctrl key and at the same time turning the wheel you zoom + or zoom -; and also that the wheel button activates a kind of pan which however is not the real pan;
my question was if you could combine both commands in the wheel and in the click of the wheel, without having to also use the ctrl (so you do everything with one hand); thanks

in my work I always display large format drawings, originated from autocad, and using the wheel with zoom + and zoom- together with pan with the click, it would be perfect, so you can quickly move from one part of the drawing to another doing it simultaneously zoom; thanks bye

Hi, Pietro.Pezzi

Thank you for the added input, I will mention these points to the Dev team so that it can be considered in due time. Unfortunately I cannot promise implementation or any timelines for this at the moment.

Kind regards,
