I've recently installed a microsoft wireless mouse. I'm having issues because the middle wheel doesn't pan when pressed down. I've searched the discussion forums at the Autodesk (both Lt & full ACAD) site, and can see this has been discussed previously, but the accepted remedy of control panel/mouse settings and ensuring that the mouse wheel is set to "middle click" is listed (and selected), but doesn't have any effect. I have MBUTTONPAN set to 1. I'm not sure what else needs to be done to get the middle button to pan.
I am doing a bit of graphcis work in photoshop etc and am thinking about getting a wireless mouse as I find the mouse cord a bit heavy, restrictive and annoying to my wrist etc.
Have any of you got any comments as to whether I would find a wireless mouse easier to move around on Photoshop - are they as accurate etc ?
My laptop died recently and I had to get a new one then reinstall my AutoCAD 2010 software. Trouble is the mouse wheel no longer zooms or, when held down, pans any more. I have spent the last couple of hours trying to sort this but to no avail - nothing happens when I use the mousewheel at all. SO frustrating as I use this all the time!
I run Windows 7 Pro OS and the mouse is a fairly basic HP model with two buttons and a wheel. (maybe I need to upgrade the thing...!)
So recently I started making something in Inventor, and like most programs you can press the middle mouse button and it will pan or orbit. Well I'm pretty sure that in the past if I pressed the middle mpuse button it would pan or orbit. But now it is zooming all for the model, and only when it is zoomed to the whole model does it let me pan or rotate. If I were to zoom in on a line for example and wanted to pan to the right, it zooms me out to the whole model, and then I can pan. I have tried multiple mouse buttona all combinations of shift ctrl and alt and middle mosue, but nothing is working. How can I make it so it does not zoom all when clicking the middle mouse?
I don't mean the Zoom Tool, but simple zoom in/out operations. I seem to recall that the default behaviour in Photoshop was that you zoomed with Ctrl+mousewheel scrolling, and if you just scrolled, then the picture would pan up/down (vertically). And you could untick the "Zoom with scroll wheel" option if you didn't want Ctrl+scroll to mean "zoom".
However for a while now, having that option ticked seems to mean that scrolling (with no Ctrl) is all it takes to zoom in/out, and if you untick the option then you need to press Alt+scroll to zoom; in either case, there is no shortcut for panningup/down.
Anyway, whether this was really ever the case or not, my question is: is it somehow possible to make it so Ctrl+scroll zooms and (simple) scroll pans vertically?
I've installed Illustrator CS6 recently and found the behavior of panning with the scroll wheel annoying. When I have low zoom values (e.g. 75%) the scroll wheel lets me pan U-D, L-R at normal speed, but if I zoom in (200% and up), the panning slows to a point where it is unusable at 600% and up. I use [Shift] to speed it up but at high zoom levels it's not enough. This wasn't the case for Illustrator CS5 or 5.5 where panning with the scroll wheel worked at the same speed at any zoom level.
I am converting from a R14 and a digitizer to ACA2009 and a Mouse.I am not thrilled with the way the mouse interacts with the screen, accuracy, lag time? I am using a wireless optical mouse and keyboard.What is the preferred pointing device for AutoCAD?
Further more I am a slab and have no room on my desk for a mouse cord,What is the preferred wireless pointing device?
AutoCAD 2013 crashes during the plot configuration for our printer. When I select Custom Properties for our Kip 5000 Series Printer I get an Unhandled Exception popup. When I click continue I get a message that "AutoCAD Applicaiton has encountered a problem and needs to close", the program crashes. AutoCAD 2013 will not let us select the kip 5000.pc3 file we used for Autocad 2012.
How can I set my printer up if it keeps crashing the program. Is there a new driver for 2013, if so where do I find it. Is it from AutoCad or the printer company Kip America (who have yet to reply to my email).
A wireless drawing tablet where I can have adobe cs5 remotely show up on the tablet? Something handheld for when I want to work on the sofa of an evening. I really don't need a whole tablet computer, just a drawing tablet that shows the computer screen.
I just installed Photoshop Elements 12, and went into Organizer and tried to scan in some photos, and I get the message that it cannot detect my scanner. I have a Canon MX712 Scanner, setup wirelessly and have not problems scanning from other programs.
I need like around 5000 images automatically created (since doing this by hand would take a month).
I need a 90% transparent png images, which would be from 1px by 1px to 600px by 600px and they will all have my logo in the middle.
I plan on doing this 2 ways - first batch will be 1x1 to 75x75, which won't have the logo, as they would be too small... then, 75x75 till 600x600 will have the logo centered vertically and horizontally.
I also want those separated by folders... for example all images which are 20 px wide will be in folder .../images/20/ . For emaple, in this folder will be images 20x1, 20x2, 20x3.... 20x599, 20x600.
in folder .../images/44/ will be images which are 40 px wide - 40x1, 40x2... 40x600
I just purchased VideoStudio. My needs are extremely basic, but I've found one issue that I wouldn't have expected, that is, when I go to save a video and choose MP4, H-264 Main, 1280x720, the compression does not allow you to go below 5000 kbps.
I think this is a good base line, but to not allow you to go below this figure is frustrating. Is there a way to update the limiter so you can go beneath this without changing anything else?
The performance was fast without OpenGL(Fast Previews > Off), with my old graphic card, GeForce GTS250. After I upgrade the graphic card to Quadro 5000, it's really slow with exactly the same settings.
I have 5,000 photos that I took with my Go Pro camera in hopes to make a timelapse movie in Premiere. These photos come out of the camera roughly 1900x1200, and I'm interested in resizing all of them. I know that there are ways to do batch resizing. Clearly resizing each photo would take WAY too much time, especially when discussing 5,000 photos.
I have a friend that is having a hard time saving files as .eps in InDesign, Illistrator and PhotoShop when using a Mac. She is able to create the file and save it so she should have full ownership and read/write rights to the file. Yet when she opens the file, edits it and saves it again, she gets a pop-up stating "Cannot save the illustration. You do not have enough access privileges - ID 5000". The user is the owner of the file. How would she not have access privileges? When she saves the file as an .ai, pdf, or jpg, there is no problem. She also has no problem saving the file on a Windows PC.

how to turn off the mouse function when the mouse cursor moves over a feature, such as an edge, point, or surface, and highlights it. I don't want it highlighting the features automatically. I want it to highlight once I click over a feature. My colleagues and I are very distraught by this feature, and will be discontinuing our use of your products that do not allow us to turn this feature off. I'm not sure why you'd want to weed your customer base like this, assuming that I can't turn this option off from the research I've done pouring through the hundreds of complaints related to this issue. I haven't been able to find any posts recently, or regarding Inventor 2013 specificially on this issue, so I was hoping this version had the option of turning it off. Does any of Autodesk's software, such as AutoCAD, have the option of turning it off?
Is it possible to pan within the viewport. I find that I am constantly trying to chase the right part of the drawing for the viewport using the viewport resize handles. Worst is if I scale in and loose the part of the drawing I wanted to show and have to use the handles again to make the viewport really large to find the spot that way.
I have worked out the scaling but the panning within the viewport would be really useful.
Is there a way to pan/move an existing Paperspace Viewport to a defined coordinate? For example you can rotate a Paperspace Viewport with the UCS and Plan view commands
To rotate a view by changing the UCS
Double-click within the viewport whose objects you want to rotate. Make sure that the current UCS is parallel to the plane of rotation (the UCS icon should look normal). If the UCS is not parallel to the plane of rotation, click Tools menu New UCS View.If the UCS is not parallel to the plane of rotation, at the Command prompt, enter ucs. Click Tools menu New UCS Z.At the Command prompt, enter ucs. To rotate the view 90 degrees clockwise, enter 90. To rotate the view 90 degrees counter-clockwise, enter -90. Click View menu 3D Views Plan View Current UCS.At the Command prompt, enter plan. The entire view rotates within the viewport. You may need to specify the scale of the viewport again.
I am copying layout views with a tilteblock and viewport. Going to the new view and having to pan orthagonally down 50 units. I tried setting up named ucs for the 2 locations but that didn't move the viewport as I would thought.
I followed the tutorial on this page: [URL]. However, my animation auto plays and mousing over has no effect. I have searched and sreached to no understandable (to me) avail. Here's a link to the file: [URL]
i have just set up remote access from my home laptop to my work computer. for some reason i am having problems with panning using the wheel button on my mouse. instead of panning it acts as a right click function and brings up the menu. Could this just be down to the mouse itself?
I am using AutoCad 2012 and have just gotten a new screen and Logitech mouse. I can't get the scroll wheel to pan for me. When I press the scroll wheel I see a zoom button on the screen instead of a pan symbol.
I am tasked with tidying up some drawings that have been exported from Vectorworks and it seems there is a fundamental problem with the drawing.
Some lines do not appear when viewing the drawing, they only appear when panning or when I select all. There are some cases where a line disappears behind a rectangle as if it had a hatch fill yet no such thing exists.
When I pan around a drawing by holding down the scroll wheel of the mouse button, I sometimes pan quite slowly, AutoCAD decides to zoom to extents. I know I have not double clicked the scroll wheel.
I have an issue when working in paper space in an active viewport. As a quick change i want to move a few items and im zoomed in to do so. Problem is, when i select some items, then pan with the 3rd button on the mouse to select more items, it deselcts all the items i previously just selected.
Is there a fix or something i need to change in options for this? In AutoCAD 2011 there is no problem, but my upgrade to 2013 has the issue and its such a pain, i've reverted to the old program.
I know that we can have precision movement within viewport using -pan. However that panning is limited to the active viewport, 1 at a time by double clicking in the viewport. Is there a way to apply -pan to a number of viewports, say I want to move all the model space irrespective of scale 300 mm to the west or 100 mm to the north in more than 1 viewport.
I had my ACAD window up and another window up at the same time. I thought I was in the other window and pushed some sort of CTRL+(something) command but it enabled in ACAD since it was my active window. Well, I don't know what I pressed but now when I have something selected (with no command running) and try to pan to select additional items, the panning results in deselecting everything I had previously selected.
As you imagine this is quite annoying... I tried searching for something but the only thing I found was the command "pickadd". I tried the different settings for this and none worked. I can not remember what CTRL+ command I pressed... When the window popped up in ACAD, I just closed out of it real quick without (or at least I thought without) clicking anything.
When i use panning in 2D mode the drawing disappears from my viewport. Autocad and all tools are still visible but there is nothing in drawing screen. When i zoom extent(z+e) it comes back again but in a couple minutes it disappears again while i am panning.
Since installing SP1, I have noticed "ghosting" when panning/zooming in paperspace i.e. the original image is still visible. The only solution I have found is to turn off Hardware Acceleration and then turn it back on.

I have just noticed that while in Isometric view I can Pan an item in the window by pressing the arrow keys on a keyboard. One thing however is that to pan to the right side of the screen I have to press left arrow key. It is sort of pressing the "wrong" key to get the model slide to the "right" direction.
I am trying to select some portion of my drawing for layer change, but when I panning the view for additional selection, I lost the grips of first selected entities.
