IMAC - Orbit shortcut key (standard iMac keyboard and mouse)

hi guys,

what is the keyboard shortcut for orbit in fusion 360 on an iMac?

 

I have tried shift, ctrl, command...combinations of them, but i cant seem to get orbit to work.

 

Is there the option for this in the mac version of fusion360 when using a standard mouse and keyboard?

 

Do i need to manually configure some preferences within the program in order to set this up as the standard iMac mouse doesnt have a middle button? (can i change this to use left mouse or right mouse button in fusion 360)

I have found a few options for this problem:

1. download and instead either of the following apps for magic mouse
   - Middle Click

   = BetterTouchTool

 

2. Replace the Apple Magic Mouse with a Logitech mouse with the middle wheel/button to the iMac instead! 

 

I have gone with the Logitech Mouse option.

 

A caveat...sometimes i have had to keep the Apple Magic Mouse switched on whilst using the Logitech one...otherwise nothing works. Go figure???
