I tried to replace wired mouse with Logitech wireless M705 and came across the problem the roller wheel stop panning when pressed down.
I started investigating it and found the following
- Roller is panning when pressed down for wired mouse from Dell and Logitech
- When Logitech driver setpoint is installed panning for Logitech mouse stops but with Dell mouse continues
- Wireless M705 does not pan regardless of the driver installed
I looked over the Cadence PCB forum and CAD forums and found that this is frequently sited problem.
Here is the ENV file settings related to mouse in my ENV file:
#--------------------------------------------------------------------
# MOUSE WHEEL SUPPORT
# Environment Variables - Note quote variables so they are evaluated
# at button time not when this file is read.
# - _wheelcnt variable is set based upon number of detents wheel moved
# range is -4 to 4 (no 0)
# - sx1 and sy1 are cursor coordinates when wheel is moved
#
# Button values
# wheel_up: when wheel is moved up
# wheel_down: when wheel is moved down
# wheel: up/down if either of above 2 buttons are not assigned
#
# Keyboard modifiers (note we are case insensitive)
# S - shift key
# C - control key
# SC - shift and control
# Example: SCwheel - for wheel button assignment with both shift & control keys
#
# Button factor may be factorion (e.g. 0.5)
# lower number means smother zoom in (Vadim’s comment)
set buttonfactor = .1
button wheel_up "zoom in $buttonfactor"
button wheel_down "zoom out $buttonfactor"
button Cwheel_up "zoom in $buttonfactor"
button Cwheel_down "zoom out $buttonfactor"
#---------------------------------------------------------
it seems that knowing the variable for wheel pressed and pan command can make it work.
Could you please advise where I can find the documentation for all mouse functions and wheel variables?
thanks vadim
