Mouse wheel zooming

[Baitor]

Hi guys im a new Master Cam user and am finding in kinda hard getting use to some of the key commands.

As a designer using Autocad every day it suxs having to learn a whole new set of quick keys.

 

My question is can you set centre mouse button

to dynamic pan and wheel up down to dynamic zoom.

 

Cheers all,

In V9.1 the mouse wheel does in fact have the zoom function. If you "click" the wheel mouse, you have the option to either dynamic spin, or hit the "P" key and you are then able to pan your geo.

9.1 'stock' mousewheel zoom isn't what it should be, though, as there is no 'smart-center' feature like AutoCAD has. Hell, even Cimco backplot has better mousewheel zooming. I know that there is a c-hook available; just hoping that version 10 resolves this.

 

As far as the hotkeys go, you're out of luck.

 

If I had a buck for every time I got my AutoCAD help menu on the screen when I go to zoom in...

I assigned a hot key to the screen center command. It will work inside of most commands. I use it most during the wheel zoom feature. I kind of makes up for the lack of smart center like in AutoCAD. HTH

Thanks for that guys it should help.

 

Chris that F1 key is the best and worst feature going from Mastercam to AutoCad. Autocad mouse wheel zooming is a very nice.

 

Pity im only filling in at work till they get someone to fill in as it looks like a great program to learn.

Before you get used to the Mastercam hotkeys, you can re-assign them to your liking. Screen>Configure>toolbars/keys

Thanks for rattling my brain...I just realized that in addition to zooming, if you click on the wheel you get the panning feature. That will save some time!!

 

I learned something again today...I guess I can go home now.
