allanjl Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Anyone else every have problem with their mice while working on formZ. Brand new mouse as per title. The middle button never worked to set view no matter what I'd do. Updated the firmware, driver, use defaults on formZ, etc. Older wired dell mouse works fine. What gives?!

snow Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I use a Logitech M720 and it works fine. Did you download Logitech Options? Maybe something isn't configured properly on the mouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I also have that problem with Logitech mice. Are you on Mac or PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Hi Allan and Gary, I just had the exact same problem! I'm not sure if it came with a recent update, but here's how I fixed it. Using Logitech SetPoint software, I changed the Button 3 setting from Universal Scroll to Generic Button and hit Apply. Everything seems to be working as it should now. Scroll is scrolling where it should and zooming in FormZ and middle click is now correctly working as the Hand tool in FormZ. I think newer mice use Logitech Options software instead of the SetPoint software I am stuck with, but you should try changing Button 3 to Generic Button and see if it works for you. FWIW, I LOVE my older MX620 mouse and have bought several of them over the years. I use the Application Switcher button constantly to quickly find the window I need to switch to. The only problem is that this doesn't currently work with FormZ for Windows. Mission Control on Mac works with the same mouse by showing each FormZ project window you have open, but it's not currently working on FormZ. I reported this a while back, but probably worth bringing up again since it could be fixed while v9 is in development.

allanjl Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 I am on Windows 10 and Windows 8. Thank you all! Sorry to rant, but we have a lot of other software here, rhino, Autocad, Datacad, 3Dmax, etc. None of them had this problem. Maybe it should be something that Autodessys should also address? It makes new users get a bad impression of the software, if they had mess with settings on the mouse while other software works just fine. Last night I went and bought cheaper logitech mice (M310) and they worked fine right out of the box. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew West Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have returned several of the M705 mice thinking they were defective. Downloaded the logitech software and messed with it for a while trying to get the mouse to behave itself. Finally gave up and wet back to the trusty M510 which has served me well for many years. Hard to teach an old dog sometimes and I am tired of spending vast amounts of time debugging new hardware and software. I don't get paid for that and I have a business to run and a family to feed. I know this has been covered before but has anyone used the 3D Connection mouse lately with positive results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
