Making PAN work with Logitech Mouse and AutoCAD

Logitech makes nice mice. The problem is that they are configured like MS mice when shipped. This always causes problems with the Wheel and Panning in AutoCAD.

This from the great website: CAD Forum

   


Turn off any special mouse wheel settings with the mouse icon in the
Windows Control Panel. Under the Buttons tab set "Use MS office
Compatible Scroll", or the middle-button setting to "Middle button".

For Logitech
mice with the Logitech SetPoint software set the mouse button 3 (wheel)
– "3. Selected Task" set to Other. Then pick Middle button.

Make sure your AutoCAD MBUTTONPAN variable is set to 1 (on).

You can also try to hold the CTRL key while Zooming.
