Is there a way to change the way the mouse works in MotionBuilder?

Ideally I would like to change them to be like 3ds max controls - using ALT+ the 3 mouse buttons. The MB defaults have me using a combination of CTRL and SHIFT with the mouse buttons.

Any help would be great, this is really slowing my work flow down

thanks

Thats the keyboard settings that mostly control the Transforms which I have done, but I want to control the mouse with

ALT+Middlemouse = arc rotate
Wheel = zoom

etc.

For ALT+MMB - go to <MB install folder>\bin\config\Keyboard, open a keyboard file that you are using (before edit make copy). Scroll down and you will find "inter.viewer.camera.orbit = ...", play with the settings to achieve what you want.
As for the mouse wheel, I don't know a way how to use it.

In MotionBuilder, you cannot directly change the mouse controls to match those of 3ds Max (ALT + mouse buttons). MotionBuilder uses CTRL and SHIFT with mouse buttons by default, which cannot be altered to ALT-based controls.
