About Bill DeShawn
Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn

AutoCAD - mouse behavior in AutoCad 2000


Expert: Bill DeShawn - 8/27/2008

Question
QUESTION: Hello,
I am an occasional user of AutoCad 2000 to help with re-model and cabinet building layout and dimensioning. My computer crashed and when I reloaded AC2000 the behavior of the mouse changed in one respect which I can't seem to find a menu to rectify.
When I press the scroll wheel on the  mouse to drag a drawing, the drawing moves opposite the the direction I drag  it, left becomes right and up becomes down. Turning the scroll wheel zooms normally in and out. I am using a logitech intellimouse.
Any ideas? It is driving me X!@##XX%%%&#
Thanks

ANSWER: Bob:
Did you set MBUTTONPAN to 1?

Let me know if that helps or not.  If not, we'll talk about other possibilities.

QUESTION: Where is the access to the MBUTTONPAN settings. I looked around and have not found it. I am a fairly new user.
Thanks
Bob

Answer
You can set it from the command line

Just type
MBUTTONPAN
and then
1
or
SETVAR
MBUTTONPAN
1

or
(setvar "MBUTTONPAN" 1)

That's strange.  I alway thought that Intellimouse was a Microsoft product.

Keep in touch
