shift + mouse3 change the way it functions

[livefreeforever]

All the sudden, when I press shift + mouse3 it 3D orbits the object on some random axis (indicated by a green ball) out in the middle of nowhere. It used to nicely spin/turn the object and I could angle my view perfectly.

I used Autocad 2 days ago and it was fine, but now I can barely get work done because of this one issue. I never realized how much I used this shortcut until today, can someone please help me fix this?

Hi livefreeforever and welcome to the Forums!

The fastest way to attempt a fix would be to Reset settings to Default. This will likely restore the settings that have inadvertently  changed.

If you would like to try and find the one setting that has changed we can try to do that as well. Please tell me which version of AutoCAD you are using.

Is Mouse 3 a three button and wheel mouse? If so, its settings are likely controlled outside of AutoCAD. Please describe your hardware so we can fix the problem.
