Customize Mouse Buttons

Please add the ability to customize our mouse keys in Revit for example  I have 5 extra keys on my mouse but I can't use them in Revit but they help me a lot in other software like Premier

It would be great to be able to scroll the views up and down or left and right with the mouse wheel. Maybe with a modification key such as control or alt key.

This behaviour can be seen in other software such as Photoshop or Excel.

The reason for wanting this is that so much panning ends up putting a lot of stress on my wrist. Being able to scroll without moving the hand at all is very nice.

 

Thanks

If you have a mouse that has a "middle button" option in its configuration, that will act as the pan feature. I just have that bound to my mouse wheel when its depressed. I can use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and then hold it down to pan around.

Hi @JavadHamidi ,

 

I agree with you, but in the mean time you can use a software to customize mouse buttoms (I use X-Mouse Buttom Control (freeware) for Windows to have Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Tab, Esc configured in a layout for Revit, and other buttom to change mouse layout profile (I use different buttom for different software). Some Mouse (gaming ones) came with their custom software.

Please enable a way to change the default pan key, as well as other mouse keys, its very annoying to have to mash down the scroll wheel just to pan around. You have the ability to change almost every other command in Revit except for this. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to have user navigation presets so that users who transition from other software ie. Photoshop, Rhino, Sketchup, etc don't have to re-train their muscle memory to switch pan buttons and other navigation keys. Also the option to assign different mouse keys to commands would be a plus in the shortcut tab.

More customization is always nice. But until then (if it happens) get a programmable mouse and keyboard and you can do whatever you want with it.

I understand that there are products that may solve this, however considering how expensive a Revit license is, you would think this would be a built in feature. Also I don't have the time at this moment to invest in such a project, but if I were to where would I start?
