middle mouse rotate problem

[YoDoug®]

Guys, I think I got a graphics card problem maybe.

 

We have a new seat of X2 here for our new programmer. The problem we have is this. When you open a new file and import a model the middle mouse button works like its supposed to, it rotates the model (dynamic spin free checked).

 

Once you create some geometry of any type the middle mouse button changes functions. click middle mouse button in work space and it scrolls the operations manager. Tried closing Mcx and restarting computer. new files middle mouse button rotates, but open the saved file with geometry and middle mouse button scrolls op manager.

 

Thanks in advance.

I should add this is on a new computer. My IT department cheaped out and went with a Radeon x1800 against my recommendations.

Check out the settings-config-screen and look at the middle button/wheel use, also make sure you have the use free mode in dynamic spin check off on the right

Ive have already checked the settings in cofig, Thats what doesn't make sense. It works fine until you create some geometry, then it changes function.

If it is an ATI card you will have problems. You can get the FX 500 or 1500 for a good price.

Colin, Thats what I told IT when I specked the computer. Get a $300-$400 quadro and all will be good. They didn't listen.

SO shut it down, go to your boss and tell him you cannot use it.

 

 

Not it doesn't do this or it doesn't do that, I CANNOT use this, period.

 

It does NOT meet the requirements to effectively run Mastercam.

 

Let him fight the battle and if they complain do NOT use it. Plead ignorance like IT did

i have a ATI card (radeon 9200) and don't have that kind of problem

 

check your mouse driver

 

new computer = vista = lot of little config problem

[YoDoug®]

No vista here. Our IT department is not very impressed with vista, They say they won't be upgrading here for a long time.

 

The computer in question has XP pro. We don't have problems in any other apps with the mouse/pointer, just MCX.

Check your firewall and protection package

I had to get rid of Zone Alarm - it was

fighting with Mastercam settings

Turns out that IBM had installed some "MouseSuite" control app. We uninstalled that and went with windows standard mouse drivers and the problem was fixed.........After I got IT dept to replace the Graphics card - OOOPS
