Assigning commands to a multibutton mouse.

I’m sure this topic has been discussed. But I’m not having much luck finding what I’m looking for. So here it goes.

 

For 20+ years I’ve been using a 16button digitizer. Costumed each button in the CUI menu. We recently upgraded my old WinXP machine with Acad 2014 to a Win7 with Acad 2015. Downloaded a couple different drivers for my DrawingBoard III and contacted both companies for tech help. Can’t get the digitizer to work smoothly.

 

Finally decided to ditch the digitizer and go with a Logitech G600 mouse. Figured it has 20 programmable buttons so I should be back in business. Found where I can use custom key strokes but it doesn’t work the way some commands work in the CUI menu.

For example: I use to click a button on the digitizer for the zoom window command. When the button was pressed it picked the 1st corner. Using the key stokes “Z {SPACE} W {SPACE}” I get the command up but I still have to click the 1st corner. In the CUI menu I added “{space} \” this selected the 1st corner when the button was pressed.

 

Same thing goes for using Osnap: “_endp \” selected the endpoint of a line when the button is pressed. If the “ \” is not there it waits for the user to select the endpoint. I don’t want this. I want it to select the endpoint when the button is pressed.

 

Is there any way to get around this short of spending a fortune for a new digitizer only for it to be obsolete with the next release of acad or windows?
