When I am making a drawing in Autocad 2000 there are times when the scroll on my Microsoft mouse operates as a zoom (prefered). Other times it operates as a scroll (up & down). I know that I am doing something to cause this, but I can't seem to pinpoint my mistake.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Bill Rolland

Look up (mouse, Intellimouse) in AutoCAD Help. There is a complete description of the different activities you can do with the wheel.

if you get the osnap menu when you press the wheel button its cause you have set mbutton pan to 0 set it back to 1 and it will function like you want it

or if you like create a button with this macro and you can toggle it off and on

mbuttonpan $M=$(-,1,$(getvar,mbuttonpan))
 
Unfortunately I've seen this behavor also with both the 0 & 1 settings with mbuttonpan so there is a bug in Acad2k. Steve Smith

I too have see it with mbutton pan set to 0 or 1 but normally when that happens that indicates a problem with the drivers other than that i can only say that logitechas some issues with acad had some people that they just installed MS intelli mouse software and told it it was a logitec and theirs would work this is true with the intelly mouse get the latest MS Intellimouse drivers which i believ is 3.2 or highter thats fixed most of my problems
