2019 autocad with surface

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello autodesk community. When using autocad on my surface I have some 2 main issues. The first issue is when I don't have the keyboard attached and I try to right click with my pen and it does not work. I would also like to right click and hold with the pen and it bring up the menu. My second issue is zooming in and out using my fingers. If anyone has any idea how to fix these issues it would be much appreciated

AutoCAD is not redesigned for touchscreens or the MS SurfacePen: you need a mouse for the functionality you want to do with holding and right-clicking.

What's wrong with zooming in and out? Two finger pinch works fine here.

When ever I try to do the two finger pinch it just moves the cross hairs and does not zoom in and out.

On our surfacePro two fingers moving together is PAN, one finger is the cursor, in AutoCAD.
Try some of these device tips https://painterfactory.com/painter_product_discussion/f/all-things-mobile-tablet/25588/pinch-to-zoom...

That is how it was on acad 2002. Ive looked at the PAN settings and the website still doesnt work. Just wants to highlight.

2002 is not supported in Win10: did you by chance 'migrate' from 2002 to 2019 when you set it up? You might have brought in trouble.

On a side note: if you want to use touch and the pen fully, you will need to use the lesser functioning AutoCADMobile that is free with a paid subscription of 2019 (you can get it from the Windows10 App Store).

Just out of curiosity... what trouble would updating from acad 2002 to 2019 bring? I have done just that, and the original post applies to me, main issue is the right click functionality with the pen. Thanks for your input.
