Holding Middle Mouse Button Zooms Out While Panning

Anonymous — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 10:01:23 GMT

I have a problem with panning in Fusion. When I presss and hold the middle mouse button instead of only panning it pans and zooms out continuously until I release the middle mouse button. I have swapped out the mouse and it still does this. If I presss Shift and the middle mouse button it orbits as it should. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank You

Hello,

Just to confirm, you aren't seeing this in any other application other than Fusion? Just trying to help understand if this is something specific to Fusion or if this may be a setting or general issue going on with your machine.

Cheers,

This is the only design program I am currently using so I am not sure if the press-in feature of the mouse is set correctly on my machine. I don't see anywhere to change this. It scrolls as it should.

One note that may clarify is when I push it down one click it zooms out one step accordingly. This would by why when I hold down to pan it zooms continuously.

Thank You

For some reason I don't have the same problem when I used a wired mouse. I've tried two wired mice with no problems and two of my different brand wireless mice have the same problem. Thanks for your reply, it is not a Fusion issue.

Are you guys using a Logitech mouse?

Hey, I mostly fixed this problem by downloading and installing SetPoint, Logitech's keyboard & mouse software. Under "Button Settings" I changed the Task setting of the Button "Middle Button" to "Middle Button."

It still zooms in by a tiny notch every time I click the middle mouse button, but it doesn't continuously zoom in like before whenever I have the middle mouse button held down. Hope this helps!

(Btw, this issue was not "Solved" like the thread said, and the linked "Solution" wasn't a solution. Thanks!)

Addendum - this issue was completely fixed after I went into Setpoint and set the Tasks for the left and right scroll buttons on the Logitech wireless mouse to "Do Nothing."

I am using a Logitech MX performance wireless mouse and have the same issue. I will download "Setpoint" and see if it works. Thank you!

When you look at the Setpoint options, I believe that the left and right buttons can only be swapped ie: left for right and right for left. They cannot be assigned to a key function.

Also, I have found that sometimes my middle mouse button works for orbit, and other times it doesn't. A very frustrating situation actually.

My middle button stopped working for orbit when I "upgraded" to windows 10. Extremely aggravating. Gesture button is worthless now. No way to do orbit by mouse now ... and it's a logitech mx anywhere 2. A very nice mouse.

Loss of this function was killing my productivity. I came back here and read everyone's comment, and based on that decided to reconfigure the gesture button as a "middle button". Now it works as it should! Yea! I have orbit back. When I upgraded to Windows 10 either it somehow was change to a "gesture button", or I hit "restore defaults" on the "logitech options" program, which I think is the same thing as "setpoint" software. That changes it back to a gesture button.

So if you loose orbit, go into your mouse config software and make sure it's defined as a middle button, not a gesture button.

I had this problem with my Logitech G502. Turns out that you can actually push the mouse wheel to the left or right to scroll side to side; so, when I clicked the mouse wheel and moved the mouse, it also registered that I was pushing mouse wheel to the side. I used the "Logitech Gaming Software" to unassign the Scroll Right and Scroll Left feature of the mouse wheel, and the problem was solved.

I am having the same problem with Logitech Master MX .... tried everything? to no-avail.

Please Logitech and Autodesk get together and fix the problem.

make sure your gesture button is configured as a the middle button and not as the gesture button, using your logitech options program.

Thanks Dave,

I configured the middle button in Logitech Options software as you mentioned ( ...many times ). Still the problem persist. I find it also difficult configuring other mouse functions.

My suspicion is the MS Unified Driver which Logitech Mouse passing messages trough to Windows misbehaving ... so there might be three parties to the tango!

I'm sorry that didn't work. That is so aggravating ... seriously cuts into
productivity, I know. Have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling all
the mouse pointing software. I would disconnect your logitech MX mouse for
the whole process.

It seems to be quite common problem. Could Fusion Team escalate the problem to Logitech Development Department.

They must have an environment (Win10 in debug mode) which would allow to quickly identify the mechanism of the problem.

They must have Logitech Master MX mouses too ... if not sold out.

Parametric design

MichaelT_123 — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 06:13:11 GMT

I encountered problem with parametric design. I generated pattern using a parameter specifying number of pattern`s items. Subsequent operations (mirror, combine,...) on the created features work well and "calculate all" produced no errors warnings. However the things changed after increasing/decreasing the number. The kernel after calculation produced warnings/errors like "the body reference is lost..." . It seems that the original parameter is no passed to the subsequent operation and that there is no recognition that the items/features under subsequent operations have dynamic link with its creator.

Am I doing something wrong or the parametric model has a hole?
