Using additional Mouse Buttons

[Anonymous]

I've recently come across a problem - I've broken the MMB on my mouse, and I've been trying to set the macro for panning to MB4. This seems to be un supported by 3ds Max 2017 and I'm looking for solutions. I've saved the user interface and tried editing the file to read the panning option as MB4, but I don't seem to know the "command" for MB4. If anyone has that bit of info that would be super helpful. Regardless - here is what I'm looking at editing highlighted in red in the code below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ADSK_MUS>
    <CustomizeMouse>
        <AutoFocusViewportOnKeyPress value="1" />
        <MayaSelectionMode value="0" />
        <LockArcRotate value="0" />
        <MiddleBtnStroke value="0" />
        <ZoomWheelIncrement value="1.000000" />
        <ZoomAboutMousePointOrthographic value="1" />
        <ZoomAboutMousePointPerspective value="1" />
        <RightClickMenuOverSelectedOnly value="0" />
        <ZoomInDirection value="1" />
        <PanShortCut value="MB4" />
        <ZoomShortCut value="Ctrl+Alt+MMB" />
        <RotateShortCut value="Alt+MMB" />
    </CustomizeMouse>
</ADSK_MUS>

If no work arounds seem to arise - I assume I must set a macro with my mouse software. (Razer Deathadder)

Hi;

I have been using 5 or more button mice for a long time, along with macro keyboards.

I always used my additional mice buttons within it's softwares. Here are the steps for my setup:

-Assign a shortcut for a command in 3ds max (ctrl+shift+U)

-Go to mice software, assign ctrl + shift + U to Mouse Button 4

-Use the MB4 as the shortcut which has assigned in 3ds max.

Regards;
