    I'm using Autocad 2012 and I'm struggling to get space acivate the pan function!!

     

    I follow the procedure to modify the keyboard shoutcut but the button SPACE is not accepted as keyboard shortcut for anything.

    Actually Keyboard shoutcut only accepts CTRL+... or SHIFT+...  etc

    NO SINGLE LETTER (or SPACE) are accepted. 

     

    Please can someone help me to easlily pan into my drawings (I hope it is clear now that i do not want to use my weel button on the mouse :smileyhappy:)

     

    Thanks

    Thanks for the answer, 

     

    I was hoing in the space bar shortcut after reding a few post about it.. my mistake.

     

    HOWEVER: there is a way to have a PAN shortcut on keyboar that acts as mouse centre button?

     

    I mean,

     

     

    mouse:

    when push = PAN

    you release = NO more PAN, you go back to previous commnad

     

    keyboard pan shortcut:

    push = PAN

    release = nothing, PAN stays up you click a new command 

     

    This is driving me creazy ^^

    Hope there is some help here..

    IMHO you should not use the SPACEBAR for anything, it has specific tasks within AutoCAD already defined that you will always need to use.

    Find another key, or get a keyboard with more customizable keys and use one of them.

    AS stated in my prevous message I have given up at the ideas of using the space bar.

     

    What I still hope, is to be able to PAN using whatever keyboard combination in the way the 3rd mouse button works (see my  prevous reply)

     

    Thanks anyway...
