Mouse Wheel Zoom problem

[Anonymous]

before changing computer the mouse wheel was working perfectly. I used it only for zoom in and out and for PAN the drawing constantly.

Now I have a new computer and when installing Autocad again in this computer, the wheel starts PAN, but almost immediately it provokes a zoom to the extents of a drawing that makes it impossible for me to work properly.

what do I need to redefine to avoid this. I never need to make a Zoom to the extents of a drawing with the wheel

Hi,

>> the wheel starts PAN, but almost immediately it provokes a zoom to the extents

That means the mouse is thinking you did a double-click.
This can be a setting in the mouse driver, or a critical (hyper sensitive button/contact).

I would start to change the mouse to another one you have and see if that works better then.

I did...and all reacted the same...

only a very old and heavy one worked better, but then it is too heavy to
work apropriately

All from the same manufacturer? Then I guess you have to look to the mouse  driver options (in control panel ==> mouse ==> and see how the wheel -click is configured)

I see that I can only define in the control panel the scroll function of the central wheel of the mouse (the amount of lines I can scroll) but I cannot get out the double click function.

do you know how to take this Zoom extent out of the central wheel of the mouse in Autocad?

I only need to zoom in and our with that wheel when working with Autocad

Hi,

For someone who want a software solution to this problem. I find a similar question on forums.autodesk.com (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-2000-2000i-2002-DWG/Disabling-Wheel-Button-Double-click/td-p/2...), But there is no answer either.

copy the following code to a blank text file and save it as acadMbutton.ahk.


MButton::

If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 300) ;hyperclick

Return

Click Down Middle

KeyWait, MButton

Click Up Middle

Return


WheelDown::

If GetKeyState("MButton")

Return

Send {WheelDown}

Return

WheelUp::

If GetKeyState("MButton")

Return

Send {WheelUp}

Return

Download Autohotkey from http://l.autohotkey.net/, and run the script with Autohotkey

This script do two things:
1. disable very quick middle button double click, if you set the time to large enough, for example 2000, it will disable double click complelely
2. disable mouse wheel while the middle button is pressed down

Alfred is right. If your mouse behaved correctly before, it's most likely that your mouse driver or driver settings changed. That's where I'd start.

For what it's worth this happened to me and found altering (speeding up) the Double Click speed sorted it.

On Win 10 Settings > Devices > Mouse > Additional Mouse Options [link on RH side]

Launches the old style mouse control tabbed dialog (here anyway) where Buttons [Tab] has double click speed.
Mine was near middle, slid right a couple of clicks sorted it.
