Using Fusion 360 with ThinkPad Trackpad

I'm trying to use Fusion 360 on my ThinkPad laptop which has the a high-resolution multi-touch touchpad.   Unfortunately I can't find a way to pan or orbit with the touchpad, because it doesn't seem to support right-button or center-button drag.  I can zoom, because there is a two-finger gesture for that.

 

I was hoping that FUSION 360 let me configure my own modifier keys and work entirely with the left-button and modifier keys (ctrl, alt, or shift).  But there really isn't a true settings/preferences for mouse behavior.  It is really strange that the only settings available are a few predefined settings, and only available in the "Getting Started Window."  I sure would have expected it to be along with other settings/preferences, and getting started maybe just being a short-cut to configure.

 

Has anyone been succesful in using a ThinkPad Trackpad with Fusion 360?

I've had a high spec Microsoft surface book or a while and while I loved the industrial design the trackpad was unusable for CAD work. Fusion 360 on Windows does not support the same track-atdoperatins  on Windows based trackpads as it does one macOS.

I have Lenovo T470 and if you setup Control Panel -> Mouse -> Synaptics Control Panel -> Click.  Enable Three Finger Click as Middle Click.

 

Then in Fusion 360.  3-finger click for Pan.  Shift 3-finger click for Orbit.
