RMB Menus

Can I add commands (Rotate View) to a RMB menu?

I wish!

I want all the view commands added to the RMB instead of just ISO view and Previous view. Not sure I understand Autodesk's thought process behind this.

Ok, they can leave out pan and zoom since that's mouse enabled. I would like them to add "zoom extents" via double-clicking middle mouse button as in Autocad.

FYI...the F4 key initiates the rotate command.

There was a thread in the old NG about using MS Intellipoint mouse drivers with a 4 button mouse that would allow you to use the 4th button to initiate the rotate command.

Are you using the MS drivers? Even if it's not a MS mouse. This was discussed in the old NG but I haven't tried it with my Logitech 4 button mouse.

You can map the thumb button to F4 directly with
Intellipoint 3.2, but in 4.x you will need to set it up using
keystroke.

Most of the power users here swear by the addition of a Spaceball for viewing and initiating additional commands. They say you can get one fairly cheap on eBay. I don't have one. B-(

Two questions come to mind: Did it successfully
map to F4 and not just 4 and does the F4 key on the keyboard work?

"F4" Works on the keyboard......and in mouse
properties I enable both thumb buttons and using the KEYSTROKE I hit "F4"
Key.....Still nothing.....I tested in Excel (F4 in office will do the last
command) and that did not work either.

Did you enable the Program specific buttons and
pick Inventor?

You do it in the Mouse dialog. There's a tick box
to enable program specific buttons at the bottom of the dialog and then a
Settings button over to the right. You pick Inventor in the settings
dialog.

Just tried it and even rebooted (also added excel)
and both still do not work....I hate roller coaster rides....Do you have the
same mouse?

I have Explorer 3.0 Optical but no reason it
shouldn't work with the cordless. The only difference is the way it's connected;
it gets the same information flow wire or no wire. I'll put a cap in CF to see
if we're talking the same settings.

I have an Explorer 3.0 optical, but a wire or no
wire shouldn't make any difference; same info/different medium. I put a cap in
CF to see if we're on the same page. If not, as I said, it's much less
involved with the Intellipoint 3.2 drivers because it will map F4 directly
from the dropdown for the thumb button. The difference being the thumb button in
3.2 is a global setting.
