AutoCAD for Mac

[#1]

i have my magic mouse but i am not sure if it works good with the autocad because of the stroll, zoom and pan... its there any program or software that helps the magic mouse with autocad?

Hi,

Try free Magic Prefs - it works perfectly (middle button, scroll, zoom, pan ...)!

That does nothing.

Hi edenorchestra,

What do you mean "That does nothing"?

What function(s) you are  missing?

Let me clarify, MagicPrefs works fantastic.  Although I can't get rid of the middle mouse function even though its not checked in Mprefs  I use MPrefs all the time love it. What I meant was that the mouse function in ACAD is very choppy, erratic.  I am just not happy with AutoCad for Mac.  Its not smooth at all, and some of the 3 and 4 finger MPref functions do work unpredictably in ACAD>  I am though getting some support from a product specialist presently.  We shall see.

Hey did anyone notice that the spellchecker on this forum tries to spell correct "AutoCad".

Anyone else having trouble panning with the magic mouse in cad for mac? When I first installed the software it worked perfectly, then stopped working a week or two later. I tried playing with the mouse prefs and magic prefs, but nothing helped. The pan function works fine on my other mac software, so I am thinking it must be something within autocad itself. Any ideas?

I too had trouble using the magic mouse with autocad for mac.  It was jumpy, so I went back to an old tethered mouse.

I am using the Magic Mouse and it works fine.

The only tweak I had to do was reduce the speed of the zoom in preferences.

I just installed autocad 2012 on a new iMac and have also installed magic prefs. I'm not able to get a right click return/enter with the magic mouse and would be grateful for any advice on this. I may wind up using a std mouse until I get comfortable with the rest of the program unless I can get get this sorted out.

Hi,

Try to enable "Quick secondary click as Return key" in AutoCAD Preferences (General tab):
